World record mobile phone throw
Believe it or not, the men's world record for throwing a mobile phone is 94.97 meters (more than 100 yards), set by Mikko Lampi from Vilppula, Finland during the 2005 Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships. The women's winner, Marke Krok, threw it a still impressive 41,42 meters.

Think you can do better? You can compete at the 2006 World Championships. These contests started in 2000, along with a recycling program.

But, if you have a particular phone you want to throw, you'll have to do it on your own. The competitors don't get to choose, and must throw what they are given.

So what's next? May I suggest a World "Slam The Smartphone Into The Wall Because It Crashed Again And I Didn't Have a Backup" Championship?
