RED BULL FLUGTAG: I love watching "The Wrong Brothers"!
I have seen so many people run red lights. I don't understand it. I saw something that I guess qualifies as a sport. Extreme Ironing.I know I have no idea why people feel the need to take ironing boards on top of rooftops of houses and iron sometimes they do it on water like standing in streams. I dont get it,plus the iron isnt plugged in. Ill take the Red Bull events anyday.
