I’m sure you’ve wanted to do it occasionally. I sure have. You know, you get a phone call that really ticks you off, or else your cell phone does something that really infuriates you … you want to take it and throw it into the lake or something.
Finland has started a contest just for us … the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship.
This year’s gold medal went to Finland’s Lassi Etelatalo, who flung a scrapped Nokia unit a forceful 89.00 meters. “I prepared by javelin throwing, I haven’t really practiced throwing mobile phones,” Etelatalo told Reuters. Source: Reuters
Interestingly, competitors could pick any phone they wanted, thus introducing another component into the competition. Would a flip-phone travel further than a candy bar phone? A heavier phone? Should you unfold the flip phone? Maybe a PDA phone?
The phones were all recycled after the event, by the way.
