Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
The Gloucester Cheese-Rolling has been cancelled for 2010 due to safety concerns and overcrowding issues. Held on Cooper's Hill in the Cotswolds region of England, the event involves participants sprinting headlong down the hill chasing after a wheel of cheese. This is England, so all of this makes perfect sense, but only after three or four pints and some spirited daring/double-daring of your fellow pubcrawlers.
The event could resume next year if issues surrounding the popularity of the event are ironed out, but in the meantime all we'll have are memories. Sweet, backward memories set to "Yakety Sax."

Now that's fun
Never would have predicted this event, but while we’re on cheese, back in 5th grade I did predict to my science teacher that one day we’d get around to making cheese out of breast milk. Got thrown out of class for it, but this week I was finally vindicated.
You ain't hurt...
