A Spaniard has just won a nutcracking contest by cracking 30 walnuts between
his buttocks in less than a minute. Hundreds of spectators watched Jose Luis
Astoreka, 34, squat to victory in the first annual "nutcracking with the
bottom championships" at the annual festival in the Basque village of
Kortezubi, 199 miles from Madrid. Mr Astoreka cracked the walnuts laid out
on the ground in two rows in 57 seconds. His brother, Juan Ramon, was second
with a time of 1min 20 seconds. The brothers winning times have been
attributed to "a peculiar physical characteristic which runs in the Astoreka
family. {The Independent}
