Some excellent responses to last week's Dewey Teaser. Thanks to Joe and Giles and Kate for their great additions to our master list of inhabitants-of-Table-2-places-who-go-by-relatively-strange-names. We're still working on that one, so if anyone has any late entries, please send them along! As for this week's Teaser -- well, it's not really a Teaser, per se -- it's more of a general call for inspired ideas. (Get on with it. -- Ed.) We're looking for the world's most unlikely sport that isn't already indexed in the DDC. Regular readers will have thrilled, presumably, to our earlier coverage of book-cart pushing, pancake racing, free running, rock paper scissors, and even something called cricket. No, wait, that last one is actually in the index. Anyway, maybe competitive staring is your thang. Or snowkiting, or mountain unicycling. Perhaps you're the world chessboxing champion? Let us know, and tell us where in the DDC you'd put works on your pastime of choice.
My favorite is the ancient sport of cheese rolling which takes places every May Bank Holiday on Coopers Hill in Gloucestershire, England. Competitors chase Double Gloucester cheeses down the hill in front of thousands of spectators, members of the St. John's Ambulance Service, and a team from SARAID (Search and Rescue in Disasters). Where would I put works on cheese-rolling? You tell me Mr. Dewey Blog Man.

Manchester United is the most successful Premier League club having won the title 10 times. It all began in 1993 when manager Sir Alex Ferguson ended a 26-year wait to lift the Premier League circlet.
