Phone Booth Fight
Fifty years ago, Life magazine published a photo of the St. Mary’s School Phone Booth Competition, which is still very popular today. In March 2009, students from a school in California, USA, were inspired by this photo and held a telephone booth contest on the campus. This ridiculous competition compares how many players can fit in a small phone booth. In the end, these students reached the record of 22 people held in 1959, but they never broke the previous record reached by a South African team in 1958. The best record of 25 people.

Are you willing to throw away your beloved cell phone? Finland holds a mobile phone throwing competition every year, giving mobile phone users a rare opportunity to “vent the worries and disappointments brought by mobile phones.” In August 2012, in the annual mobile phone throwing competition held in Finland, a Finnish teenager Erin Karjalainen threw his mobile phone an astonishing 101.46 meters away and won the championship. Of course, the mobile phone he threw was also broken to pieces.
Glide, mattress
The annual mattress sliding competition in the United States attracts many young people who like excitement and charity to participate every year. The competition venue of the Mattress Skating Competition is set on a snow slope. The players have to sit on inflatable mattresses and slide down the snow slope. Whoever reaches the finish line first is the winner. Regardless of the rules of the game, it is simple to say, it is never easy to maintain balance on a fast sliding mattress. Most of the contestants did not come here with the idea of winning big prizes. People wanted to be able to have fun while doing something for those in need. All registration fees for this competition will be donated to a charity organization to provide free furniture and household items to people in need.
Throw the toilet hard
In the Netherlands, some villages and towns hold toilet throwing competitions for fun. In May 2012, Dutch Crown Prince William Alexander took part in the traditional toilet throwing competition in the small eastern village of Reenen and won the championship, but he himself was very ashamed of this. “There are still 2.6 billion people in the world who don’t have the most basic type of toilet. Living facilities, I am very ashamed of this.” However, the organizer of the toilet throw contest Jacob Bittenhuis did not buy into the “self-review” of Prince Alexander. He thought the statement of the crown prince was “very naive.”

This allows people to gain a popularization of pathology knowledge while enjoying delicious food.
