Who knew there was a sport called Anvil Shooting ? I didn't until I saw this video. Apparently, there's a National Avil Shooting Contest held each April in Laurel, Mississippi . Anvil Shooting or Anvil Launching as it is also known is relatively unknown as a sport. Personally, I think the sport is getting ready to explode in the United States.

These are for real and can be yours for just $11.95.

I don't think this is what Andy Hildebrand had in mind when he invented the Auto-Tune.

I never realized the depth of talent within a football organization until a coworker shared a link to this video.
