Saturday saw the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship in Finland. The winner of the Men's event was Pauli Kosunen with a throw of 79.6 metres and the Women's winner was Suvi Torikka, 37.05 metres. The full results can be found here. This is just one of the many 'crazy' events that take place in Finland each summer. The list includes boot throwing, wife carrying, mosquito slapping, mobile-phone throwing, swamp football, sauna endurance contests... and many more. And it's probably no coincidence that of all the many countries where people exult in playing air guitar, it's Finland that hosts the world championships.!
Your Sunday questions are: -
- In which country did all 1,645 domestic pilots resign today in 1989?
- Actor River Phoenix (right), who was born today in 1970, starred in which 1991 film alongside Keanu Reeves?
- Who married Cynthia Powell today in 1962 having first met at Liverpool College of Art?
