This goalkeeper from Nigeria seems to be the calmest soccer player on the World Cup 2010. Sadly, there is not award for being the calmest goalkeeper; otherwise Vincent Enyeama had all chances to win it.

Around 1,500 people showed up at the Bottle Inn pub, in Marshwood, Dorset, to see 61 contestants compete in the 2010 edition of the annual Nettle Eating World Championships. The history of this bizarre eating competition can be traced back to the mid 1980s, when local farmers started the ‘Longest Stinging Nettle’ competition, to see who could grow the longest stem of nettles. Things went along just fine, until 1989, when Alex Williams presented a 15ft 6inches-long nettle, and claimed that if anyone could find a stem longer than his, he would it, As luck would have it, an American actually found a 16ft-long nettle, and Mr. Williams kept his word. From there on in, the competition evolved into the competitive eating challenge we now know as the Nettle Eating World Championships. On June 19th, competitors were each served two-feet-long stinging nettle stalks, from which they had to pluck and eat the leaves. After an hour of eating, the bare stalks were measured and contestants who ate the most nettles, named winners. In the men’s competition, first time participant Sam Cunningham managed to eat a whopping 74ft of stinging nettles, and claimed the title of king of the 2010 Nettle Eating World Championships. In the women’s contest, Laura Revell managed to consume 40ft of nettle, and win the title of champion.

It would appear from the photos in this post that even the President of the US can’t keep one graduating high school student from Michigan from nodding off. The president’s primary message that day was to urge the students to work hard. Apparently, one student wasn’t interested.

Well, that could be a lot of things, but I give you a hint: it’s cute ;) This four-week-old kitten spent two hours stuck in a police highway patrol car bumper!
Here's the story: the police officer driving the car suddenly braked to avoid hitting a cat that ran in front of the car. As he assumed the cat had run away, he continued driving to his destination during 2 hours. When he stopped the car, he heard purring coming from the engine so he took the car to a mechanic who found a cute little black kitty that was later nicknamed Cartwright. Hope they will find the cat's owner soon...

30-year-old Conrad Zdzierak robbed five banks and a drug store in three hours.
Witnesses said that he was black, in the images from the surveillance cameras was also a black guy. So police was looking for an African American robber.
Imagine their surprise when they caught a robber and it was a white guy in a black-guy-robber-mask. Amazing, Hollywood style.

A 880-pound (400 kg) ice block was placed in front of a new shop in downtown Sydney.
1000 AUD (911 USD) were frozen inside the block. People had to smash the ice block to get the money.

The Celebrity Eclipse weighs 122,000 tons and measures 1,040 feet in length. So when the ship was forced to squeeze through the lock as she left the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenberg, Germany, on her maiden voyage it was rather undignified. The 121-foot wide ocean liner had as little as two feet on either side of her as she eased through.
