Gloucestershire UK Cheese Rolling...

     Proving that human beings will go to any length for a laugh or to show how retarded we are, here's a video of the 2008 Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling this past May bank holiday. Dating back to at least the 1800's, the Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake is an annual event in which fearless (or stupid) competitors chase an 8lb wheel of Double Gloucestershire cheese down an insanely steep hill. Unconscious after crossing the finish line, Brockworth native Chris Anderson raced to victory once again but had to be taken off the field (if that's what you call it) by St John Ambulance. Apparently he was fine and a buddy brought him the winning block of cheese...
