Ready! Set! Escargot!
A group of people with a lot of free time on their hands held the World Snail Racing Championships in England over the weekend.
More than 100 "world class athletes" took part in the 33-centimeter sprint. The winning snail, Heikka, named after Formula One driver Heikka Kovalainen, clocked in at 3 minutes and 2 seconds.
It was later determined to be fraud, since it is well known that the snail from Kenya is actually the world fastest.
The only recorded pest who was slower was of course RH Hardin when reaching for his wallet when presented with the check.
