It just so happens that there are a  few places around the world where having fun means being a little crazy  and doing things just a few feet over the edge. If you are looking for  something crazy to do, check out one of these world's craziest  festivals! Cheese Rolling Festive, Cooper's Hill, Gloucester shire, England <img src="http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/262/cheeserollingfestival1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling is an annual event held on the Spring Bank  Holiday at Cooper's Hill, near Gloucester in the Cotswolds region of  England. It is traditionally by and for the people who live in  Brockworth, but now people from all over the world take part. The event  takes its name from the hill on which it occurs. <img src="http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/4443/cheeserollingfestival2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  first to reach the cheese will win the race but there's a catch. The  hill is so extremely steep, the cheese goes very fast, and there's  simply no way a person running down the steep hill can win the race and  stay on their feet, so everybody in the race starts to tumble. In fact,  the hill is so steep that you can't help but tumble if you are running  down it. So within seconds, everybody is tumbling! <img src="http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6228/cheeserollingfestival3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> La Tomatina Festival, Bunol, Spain <img src="http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1801/latomatinafestival1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> La  Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August  each year in the town of Bunol in the Valencia region of Spain. Tens of  metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets in exactly  one hour. <img src="http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/5493/latomatinafestival2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> From  this point it is every man, woman and child for themselves as the event  turns into a tomato slinging war. Everyone is supposed to adhere to a  small number of rules: You must squash the tomato before throwing it and  you are not allowed to throw anything other than tomatoes. <img src="http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/4356/latomatinafestival3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Monkey Buffet Festival,Thailand <img src="http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/2559/monkeybuffetfestival1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Every  year on the last Sunday of November, all of the province's  approximately 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables  during an annual feast held in honor of Rama, a hero of the Ramayana,  who, it is said, rewarded his friend and ally, Hanuman the Monkey King,  with the fiefdom of what is now Lopburi. <img src="http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/3987/monkeybuffetfestival2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Organizers of the annual monkey buffet use more than 3,000 kg of fruits and vegetables for the festival.  <img src="http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/1170/monkeybuffetfestival3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Onbashira Festival, Japan <img src="http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4936/onbashirafestival1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  Onbashira festival (can be literally translated as "the honored  pillars") is reputed to have continued, uninterrupted, for 1200 years.  The festival is held once every six years, however the locals may say  "once in seven years," because of the traditional Japanese custom of  including the current year when counting a length of time. <img src="http://img547.imageshack.us/img547/417/onbashirafestival2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> It  looks scary and dangerous but it is still practiced in certain parts of  China. Thousands of people come to witness this sport as it is not  practiced anywhere else in the world in this scale. <img src="http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/882/onbashirafestival3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Redneck Games, USA <img src="http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6514/redneckgames1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  Redneck Games are held in East Dublin, Georgia annually. What started  off in 1996 as a goofy way to raise money for charity has evolved into a  nationwide phenomenon. Back in 1996, Atlanta was going to host the  Olympics and a lot of jokes were being made about a bunch of rednecks  hosting the Olympics. <img src="http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5038/redneckgames2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  games themselves are down-and-dirty events like bobbing for pig's feet,  seed spitting, dumpster diving, hubcap hurling, bug zapping by  spitball, an armpit serenade and a big-hair contest. <img src="http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/4831/redneckgames3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The Battle of the Oranges, Ivrea, Italy <img src="http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4656/thebattleoforanges1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Every  year at the end of February, the small northern Italian town of Ivrea  comes under fruit attack during the Battle of the Oranges. Thousands  come from far and wide to take part in the annual Carnevale di Ivrea,  and it�s safe to say that no one leaves untouched by pulp. <img src="http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/3197/thebattleoforanges2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Participants  are divided into teams in carriages, who ride through the town and  represent the emperor�s men, and teams on foot, which stay on the ground  and represent the commoners. All, of course, are in full costume and  armed with arance. <img src="http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/2092/thebattleoforanges3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Wife Carrying Competition, Finland <img src="http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7899/wifecarryingcompetition.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Wife  carrying is a sport in which male competitors race while each carrying a  female teammate. The objective is for the male to carry the female  through a special obstacle track in the fastest time. Several types of  carry may be practiced: piggyback, fireman's carry (over the shoulder),  or Estonian-style (the wife hangs upside-down with her legs around the  husband's shoulders, holding onto his waist). <img src="http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7899/wifecarryingcompetition.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  original track in the rough terrain with fences, rocks and brooks has  been altered to suit modern conditions. Rules to the championship  include having fun and the wife being older than 17 years of age, with a  minimum weight of 49kg. <img src="http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/7899/wifecarryingcompetition.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> If u like my post, pls comment </blockquote>
