Sidney the snail races to victory in world championships


from Telegraph:
The gastropod won the final at the village fete in Congham, Norfolk on Saturday in a time of three minutes and 41 seconds.

His owner, 62-year-old Claire Lawrence from Litcham, Norfolk, was presented with a silver tankard filled with lettuce.

The world record of 2 minutes over the 13 inch course was set up by a snail called Archie in 1995.
