The Most Obscure Obscure Sport Ever
Wikipedia - Extreme Ironing (or EI) is an extreme sport and a performance art in which people take an ironing board to a remote location and iron items of clothing. According to the official website, extreme ironing is "the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt."
The human mind is an incredible machine capable of the most awesome functions in the universe. Newton described gravity, Einstein created the theory of relativity, and some whack-job British dude decided to combine ironing with extreme outdoor activities sometime in 1997. This is the first I've heard of the Extreme Ironing phenomena but apparently it has been covered in the past by some news outlets. Anyway I think this is pretty cool. In fact, I'm going take blogging to the next level. Next time I go rock climbing I'm going to blog while I climb. Gonna be nuts.
