Cracked are a fantastic site.

The "cheaters" article reminds me of Tim Ferriss's story of winning the Chinese kickboxing championships - by carefully reading the rules and realising that a ring-out was a win, and there was no actual requirement in there to do any, you know, kicking or boxing. So he hyperhydrated to get an edge on the weight classes, then proceeded to block, block, block and then playground-style shove his opponents out of the ring...

Wheat quotas? WTF? I know that govts have at times created some daft ideas, but telling people to grow less food? Protectionist nonsense.
