The Least Fun You Will Ever Have

On February 1st, the annual Tough Guy challenge took place in Perton, England. Six thousand competitors from around the globe battled obstacles like mud, barbed wire, freezing water, and, you guessed it, fire to limp across the finish line. A spokesman for the nearby St John's Hospital was quoted in the

Birmingham Mail

saying: "There were a lot of injuries, but there were no deaths this year. Overall it's been quite successful." Check out all of the fun in this
wonderful photo gallery at the

Boston Globe.
