Finland has a competition for mobile phone throwing. 25 11, 7:32am

@flyingbanana Very much Nokia related. Rubber boot throwing was something we did for local faires etc. Those were usually Nokia boots. So Nokia started to make phones. Why not throw them? It's mostly for fun, but there seems to be a semi-serious phone throwing world championship association nowdays.

We have lots of weird sports. Swamp soccer. Wife carrying. Snow soccer (again? we suck at soccer). Church boat races (not sure how else to translate that, but it's a big rowing boat). The list goes on. Not all of them go international, but we still have world championships for all of them.
