Man, we are SO glad August is over with, we can hardly express it. Talk about uneventful. But, here on the first day of the month, September is making up for it in a big way. This weekend is Birdman Weekend in the resort of Bognor Regis on England’s South Coast. This is what some people will do for a chance at £25,000: fling themselves off a pier in a human-powered flying machine, attempting to break the distance record which currently stands at 293 feet. How quaint, you say. But take into account that the competitors tend to dress in costume or, even more disturbing, go au naturel. Watch the news tonight and you’ll probably see more of these wacky Brits (and other nationalities) than you wanted to.
