07/17/2001 Entry: "Funny / Interesting Articles"

Here are some funny/interesting articles that I've read, all pointed out at fark.com.

world wife-carrying contest "Using their trademark spouse-toting hold, an Estonian couple have trounced the competition to win the world wife-carrying title for a fourth consecutive year.....The woman in the so-called "Estonian carry" squeezes her thighs on the sides of the man's face and holds on to his waist while hanging upside-down along his back. This leaves the man's arms free to swing as he runs along the 253.5-metre (yard) course." Note that it doesn't have to be your wife... just a woman over 17... because it is linked to a legend of a gang that stole their rivals wives. For some reason I don't think the "Estonian carry" would work if the "wife" unless the wife wanted to be stolen. Oh well... must be fun to watch.

Meet the cheapest people of the year I've got one I think few can match... leaving kleneex out to dry so you can reuse it (No names, but for those of you that don't know me... it isn't me that does this).

Sliced Peanut Butter I don't think I'd want this. It just seems wrong. Processed cheese is bad enough.
