Quit taking those 'Are You a Real Man' quizzes in the internet, grab your wife or any female volunteer, and carry her to Finland's Wife-Carrying Championships. Okay, you don't really need to carry any woman, you can just go there and watch the hilarious yet serious race that has even conquered other parts of the world.
Wife-carrying has its roots in the late 1800s when a gangster named Rosvo-Ronkainen living in Sonkajärvi, Finland accepted only men who can go through and accomplish a challenging race - stealing women from neighboring villages. Stealing women isn't a practice anymore in the Finnish villages but the sport that emerged from it has become a tradition that's been annually done since 1992.
