Would You Win a Poop-Spitting Contest?

It makes sense if you think about it: if you suddenly discover that your mouth is full of sheep poop, then your first instinct will be to spit it out—hopefully as far away from you as possible. That’s why the people of Irvinestown, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, held a sheep poop spitting contest earlier this month.

44 people signed up for this test of skill and dexterity as part of the local Lady of the Lake festival. 7 participated. This is not an old tradition passed down for generations, but an entirely new event dreamed up by Joe Mahon, the owner of a local hotel (here is its menu). The winner walked away with a prize purse of £100, which is about $156 USD. It was presumably spent on mouthwash.

Failed prototype of a seeing eye robot head. Failed because you can see that there are outlines for eyes but they have not been installed.

Not since my Norwegian childhood have I seen one of these old-fashioned lefse rollers! It was a holiday tradition for the people of each village annually to produce large amounts of this thin, delicious, potato bread. I fondly remember my grandma loading flour and smashed potatoes into the back of this device, then slowly turning the knob to lay the lefse out on the cooking surface. When the bread was about ten inches long, she'd flick the sliding lever on the top and the razor-sharp blade inside would neatly snip it off. Woe to the child--woe I say!--would would stick his curious fingers inside to feel around. I still have a line of scars across the tips of my fingers from touching that blade!

It's a chewing gum recycler. Put your pre-chewed chewing gum in one end. Turn the knob and a fresh flat stick of chewing gum comes out the other end.

Isn't that one of those pre-digital teletype thingies for spitting out stock market activities? I think it just might be!

It is a do-it-yourself tongue piercing machine: insert tongue, roll it forward with the knob, slide the little grey button forward, voila'! You now have the power to irritate any parent you may meet in your travels by merely speaking to them while your tongue stud clicks constantly on your teeth! It sells itself!

It's a prehistoric typewriter. Before language was developed, there was only one letter in the alphabet. You would type that letter by pressing the button on top. The knob on the side advanced the paper. You could type out your story: Oo oo ooooo!
