Finnish Fling

Since the year 2000 a World Mobile (cell) Phone Throwing Championship has been held in Finland. The first organizer was Fennolingua,a translation and interpretation company along with Nokia (the cell phone manufacturer)  pairing up to make a fun recycling event. Cell phones and their batteries are terribly toxic if not recycled properly. There are four categories for the sport:Traditional (thrown from an over the shoulder style) best distance out of three throws,Freestyle where the creativity of the throw is awarded points,Team original,groups of three people combine their scores,and Junior for children aged twelve and under. In 2004 Norway held the first National competition and since then several other European countries have staged their own events. In 2008 the US had its first cell phone throwing competition in Massachusetts. I am sure it will soon be available in most states,so if you would like one last fling with your cell phone hold on,your day will come!
