All the time there is room for this sort of craziness, maybe the world's not such a bad place after all, eh?

I wonder if any one ever died of hypothermia attempting that swim. <br />I also like the wife carrying contest. Bless the poor guy with a very rotund wife.<br />Your blog certainly proves there's enough craziness going around on both sides of the Atlantic. A very Sarah J.

I don't think I'd like to eat either of them, but they do say that nettle cheese and nettle beer are good, and of course cooked nettles do taste like spinach!

The USA has some, too--most of them localized. I came across a list of crazy laws in Oklahoma once--it was very entertaining. There's a town here in Oklahoma that has a rattlesnake killing festival every year. Mangum, I think is the town. I (obviously) have never gone...and probably never will.
