In Oklahoma, USA, crap is gold. Head on to Beaver, OK so you would know what we are talking about! April is the time to save those poops and have some fun. What started off as a local fuel turned out to be a trend! Cow chips have been used for a variety of activities for hundreds of years. In the early days when the first settlers arrived, they relied on these cow poop to keep warm, fuel for a campfire or stove. This little brown crap is so important that it is even called brown gold.

Now, it is a sport for all OK to enjoy. Competitors even from Australia, Germany and Japan garner for the crown. Throwing cow chips today will bring world recognition. Everyone gets the chance to pick two chips from the pile. The rules? There is only one rule. Ya gotta do it bare-handed!

Who holds the world record? (Yes, there is a world record!) Leland Searcy in 1979 holds the record with a 182′3 hurl. If you think you’re up for it, then head on to Beaver and take a chance at this family oriented sport. Otherwise, just have some fun with chips!

Don’t be surprised to see poppies flowering in the stores, or even decorated along the streets.On the month of April, the people of New Zealand (and even Australia) will remember ANZAC day.
This is an occasion that people, every year, pay tribute and remember. ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, these members landed at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War. It is a public holiday in some parts of the world like the Cook Islands, Samoa and many more.
The Dawn Parades and other commemoration or memorials nationwide are attended by the local community, as well as the uniformed community service groups.
ANZAC Day promotes a sense of unity for everyone. Paper poppies are given away and worn as symbols of remembrance. The day is a half-day holiday in New Zealand, as per the Anzac Day Act 1966. But this is not only a remembrance of war, it is also a celebration of life for many!
 

The World Youth Day is the largest youth event in the whole world, and this year the event will be held in Sydney from July 15 to July 20, 2008.

Every two to three years, since the conception of the event by Pope John Paul II, the Catholic Church gathers all the youth from around the world to build bridges of hope and friendship between continents and cultures. Pope Benedict XVI has chosen the event to be hosted by the Australian State when he announced it last August 2005.

WYD08 will be the first visit to Sydney, Australia of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.

Young people throughout the world will make this pilgrimage to Australia with their faith to rediscover the beauty of the Gospel.

If you are traveling to Sydney at that time, be sure not to miss this event with the company of the youth, the Pope, the beauty of Sydney, and the hospitality of the Australian people!
