1. Bed Racing — for some reason, first race in 1965 was only open to Army, Navy and American Marines, but now the competition is open to anyone with a bed.
2. World Gurning Contest — A competition where the ugliest face wins, which would be an easy competition for some, though it is not something that I would be proud of winning.
3. Dwarf Throwing — this sport seems to be banned now, for some reason.
4. Extreme Ironing — who said ironing was easy? These extreme sports people take it to the limit, ironing in far out places.
5. Pooh Sticks — A not so sticky event invented by the book character Winnie the Pooh, that involves racing sticks thrown over a bridge into the river.
6. Zorbing — rolling down a hill inside a giant inflatable ball is sport for some, torture for others.
7. Worm Charming — bring as many worms to the surface as you can
8. Cheese Rolling — get yourself and the cheese to the bottom of a hill.
9. Toe Wrestling — battle of the big toes.
