Inga Kosak won the first World Extreme Ironing Championship in Munich in September, beating 80 contestants (from 10 countries), who are judged on the degree of difficulty they can create for themselves in order to iron.

The activity’s founder, Phil Shaw, says he does it because ironing itself is particularly boring. [Boston Globe, 12-13-02]
