This goofy cheese-rolling activity is actually very dangerous. Racers
zoom down the hill behind a madly spinning seven-pound wheel of cheese,
which can reach speeds of up to 70 mph. First to the bottom wins the
cheese. Police have attempted to ban the event, but participants have
refused to observe the ban. Men and their cheese wheels cannot be
separated easily, evidently.
