世界各地的5个古怪节日，你听说过吗?Henley-on-Todd Regatta 托德河脚行船赛 If you want something quieter, trip over to Alice Springs in the dry heart of Australia.
There you will find the Todd Regatta in a riverbed that normally has no water.
The boats are bottomless and without paddles, or motors.
They are usually constructed from beer cans, which have been eagerly emptied by the boat builders.
The teams run up the riverbed with their feet sticking out of the bottom of their boats.
In 1993 the race was cancelled because of the threat of a once in a blue moon rain storm.
World Black Pudding Throwing Championship 扔黑布丁遥 In Greater Manchester UK they throw black puddings.
Black pudding is traditionally made of cooked pig blood, fat and rusk, encased in a length of intestine.
The contest dates back to the 1850s.
Competitors from across the world have gathered at a pub in Greater Manchester for the World Black Pudding Throwing Championship.
The aim is to knock Yorkshire puddings off a 20-foot shelf by throwing black puddings at them.
Sauna Bathing Championships 桑拿浴大赛 If you prefer it hot, Finland is the place for you to compete in the Sauna Bathing Championships.
Every 30 seconds the heat is turned up, but the contestants must keep their naked bums firmly on the wooden seat, while remaining seated in an upright position.
The last person left in the sauna is the winner.
The La Tomatina Festival 西班牙西红柿节 Every August thousands of Spaniards take part in the La Tomatina Festival in Bunol.
Truckloads of tomatoes are pulled in each year and dumped in the city centre.
The people throw tomatoes at each other for the whole day, but the only rule is that the tomato must be flattened in the hand first, before being thrown.
Even elderly grandmothers have been known to take part.
The Naked Festival 日本遥体节 Japan hosts the Naked Festival.
All male contestants are dressed in oversize diapers and parade through the winter streets.
Bystanders throw cold water over the contestants, who drink copious amounts of sake in an effort to stop from freezing.
While some say festivals express something about the people who celebrate them, I wonder!
It is important however, as a universal community we respect without censure , how and what others choose to celebrate.
Each festival meets a particular need in the individuals of that country and becomes an integral part of a way of life.
Maybe you can come up with some whacky celebration of your own.
