The World Snail Racing Championship!

Posted by Frank Letras on Saturday, July 24, 2010,
You used to hear "Only in America" a fair bit when I lived in the UK. But you could be forgiven for changing it to "Only In England" these days.

World Snail Racing Championship ends in triumph for least slow snail

Given the race course was only 13 inches long, and the competitors were literally moving at a snail's pace, you could be forgiven for thinking this was a sporting event almost as boring as golf. But the World Snail Ra...
