In Digs' honor

The Wife-Carrying Championship

SONKAJARVI, Finland (Reuters) - Finishing upside down clinging to a man's back may not be the most graceful way of winning gold, but it sure helped Sandra Kullas and Margo Uusorg to the world wife-carrying crown on Saturday.

Men raced along a 250-meter track, complete with pools and hurdles, with the men running or walking and carrying the women on their backs.

The winning Estonians received laptop computers and Kullas' weight, 49 kg, in beer.

For some reason... I read this article and the only idea that crossed my mind at the time was "Devrim... Devrim... screwed up Devrim..." hehe I wonder why...

Riiiight! I don't like this "carrying the wife" business one bit. The wife should be doing the carrying... carrying of beer that is, and sandwiches... to her husband.

The kingdom of Devrim will set all straight.
