People love to compete, but when you aren’t athletically or intellectually gifted you might end up competing in one of these kooky competitions. I’m warning you now, stuff is about to get weird.
I bet you’ve never entered into a scientist dance-off before. That’s just a small sample of what’s in store from these kooky competitions.
Implications - As you're looking through this collection of kooky competitions, revert back to your childhood and think of all the goofy games you partook in. Maybe they weren't official, but they definitely were not normal. Nicky nicky nine door? Spin the bottle? Seven minutes in heaven? Not a single one of the three are normal activities, but dollars to donuts you or someone you know has participated in one or all three of them. I know have. Enjoy these kooky competitions and let me know what's weirder -- my childhood or these.
