New World Record For Mobile Phone Chucking

from the time-to-consolidate-competitions dept

It appears that mobile phone throwing contests are showing up everywhere. Sooner or later we're going to need to consolidate the various contests and have national committees and drug scandals and such like any good sporting event. However, in addition to similar contests we've spoken about in Ukraine and the UK comes news of a similar contest in a non-"Uk" place: Finland - where you can bet they're tossing Nokia phones. In fact, they're throwing Nokias so well that they've officially set a new world record for mobile phone chucking: approximately 219 feet (66.72 meters for those among you who prefer things in nice understandable metric units).
