Okay, this is nuts. For hundreds of years now, citizens and ambulance drivers have gathered in the hills of Gloucestershire to watch a bunch of idiots roll down a steep 640 foot long hill chasing a round, 8 pound hunk of cheese towards the finish line.
This year's winner Chris Anderson, a 17 year old local lunatic said as he lay on a stretcher caressing his winnings like Paris Hilton fondles a dividend check:
"The pain was worth it," Anderson said. "This cheese is going straight in a cupboard when I get home. It's definitely not for eating."
Lots more information, video and more pictures here.
