Mobile phone throwing

Ok, who has an old Nokia 5110 or better still, those 80s phones with long antennas? I challenge you to a game of mobile phone throwing :P

A phone's throw away (SMH)

A German has smashed the national record for the rarely contested sport of mobile phone throwing by hurling his phone 67.50 metres, the organisers of the event announced today.

In the competition yesterday in Wehnde, Thuringia, Nico Morawa beat the former record of 65.80 metres, set four years ago by Heiko Scholl.

Both men are from Kamenz in the eastern state of Saxony.

Morawa, who is also spokesman for the association of German mobile phone throwers, beat 70 competitors to win the event.

According to the association's website, the "sport" began when mobile phone manufacturers were offering cheap phones during the industry's boom years of 2000 and 2001.

When the phones broke, the Kamenz association came up with a new use for them.

You should be sued for copyright infringement Kam. Cutting and pasting articles from SMH... have you learnt nothing? Michael Peters would be most disappointed...

I found the article about boob implants for men even more fascinating. Hey Pog... why don't you get them so you can do the Sef Gonzales shot? ((Krusty the Klown laugh)ha ha ha)
