Inappropriate Street Signs and Road Names
Yard Wars
A short time ago, in a back yard not so far away…
I Will Survive… Auschwitz
This guy survived the Auschwitz death camp, and returned with his family to… dance?
Pay Bench
Apparently some city had a problem with people loitering on benches. This was their solution:
The… uhh… Swimming of the Bulls
Running is a high-impact activity, rough on the joints; especially if you’re being chased by a phalanx of horns attached to pissed off, one-ton animals. Leading fitness trainers agree: the annual Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain would be better if it was turned into a low-impact swimming event instead.

Facebook Us
You might have noticed we’ve got a link to our Facebook fan page now, on the right side of the blog. We’re not going to outright beg for you to “Like” us, but we will feel very sad and hurt on the inside if you don’t.
So don’t abuse our inner child any more than we already have. Become a fan today!

Kok-boru: Dead Calf Ball
This sport comes to us from “The ‘Stans” (Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan). You might remember that we recently covered Goose Pulling. Well this is sort of the opposite of that.

Fun for all ages!
