Yes friends, there’s actually a World Custard Pie Throwing Championship held every year.  Naturally it takes place in the country that is known for silly, dumb, physical humor…England.

Teams at the event, in the village of Coxheath near Maidstone, were given maximum points for throwing a pie squarely into their opponents’ faces. Judges also awarded up to five points for the most original and amusing throwing techniques

You gotta appreciate an event like that.  With all of the economic peril facing nations across the globe it’s nice to know that they’re still throwing pastries and gooey sweets at each others faces in competition.
