Anyone else seen this link on the Sydney Morning Herald website? It's had me in stitches!

I particularly like the one about the sheep racing in NZ, most of all for the following comment:
The event "was extremely ambitious, sheep being sheep, and people being people," one unnamed woman told New Zealand's TV3 News.

Saturday 2nd October 2004: 7th Annual Booligal Sheep Races
Sheep Racing is obviously a very tricky business. If it wasn't, everyone would be organising it, and the TAB would be involved. It seems that only in Booligal do there exist people with the ingenuity and enterprise to organise such an event as Sheep Racing, and it seems to be a lot of fun.

Can the wooly jumpers clear the bar?
Sunday 8th April 2001 sees the beginning of a new season of sheep racing at Highgate Farm and Animal Trail, Morland, Penrith in the Lake District's aptly named Eden Valley. The sheep racing is held daily during the farms opening times and has grown very popular with entertainment seekers for something a little different from the norm!
