Whiffle Hurling

I catch the Whiffle ball with one hand, spin around, and begin dribbling it off my bat as I drive for the goalposts. Damn: I'm swarmed by defensemen frantically waving their bats and trying to block my shot. Taking a dive for it, I spy an opening -- then smash the shot past the goalie.

Woo hoo! I've just scored the first goal in a ferocious game of "Whiffle Hurling."

Yes, Whiffle Hurling. I suspect you've never heard of it. Actually, I'm positive you've never heard of it -- because the sport didn't exist until two years ago. (Full Story at wired)



Sounds fun to me. I remember always making up games as a kid. I guess somewhere along the line you stop doing that for some reason.
