   Blame it on my humorless nature, but is that Wikipedia entry for real? There is such a thing as Wife Carrying for sport? Sometimes real life is far stranger than anything on TV. Maybe even stranger than CSI.

   Ye-es… because I’m surrounded by obese people (I thought I’d commented that Sydney’s obese population seems to be confined to City Rail employees, but I can’t find it anywhere).

   The Finns have all sorts of silly competitions like this: there’s even mobile phone throwing. I think this is sponsored by Nokia, but they use Ericsson phones. The only reason I was at the site was that I wanted to point it out to an Icelandic blogger, who had blogged about the World Sauna Championships.
