HELSINKI, Finland --Ever heard of the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship? It was held in Finland this weekend. Old phones were supplied for contestants who were allowed to pick which kind of phone they wanted to throw.

The men's winner threw his phone 292 feet. The women's winner tossed her phone 167 feet, a new world record according to the organizers. She said she has tossed a cell phone a time or two before.

Another contestant said three things were needed to compete: technical skills, power, and a sense of humor.

There were four competition categories: men, women, juniors and freestyle.

1. I should enter that contest.

I've thrown my phone many a time. Hell, I once even smashed the little remote key for my Saab in the street throwing my keys once. However, I must give major kudos to saab, because even though that thing fell apart into several pieces, I was able to snap it all back together and it still worked.
