Extreme Ironing

The most outrageous sport in the world has to be extreme ironing, also called E.l., which according to Wikipedia is “the latest danger sport combining the thrills of extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt.” Some of the crazy places where extreme ironing has taken place include underwater, on the top of a mountain, in a forest, and even while parachuting. The “sport” was created by an Englishman called Phil Shaw who suddenly decided one day in 1997 to combine rock climbing and ironing. Now there is even a World Championship and competitions are held worldwide. Isn’t ironing boring enough? Why do people want to combine it with another sport? What will people think of next?
