Dang it. It is content like this that makes the Intertubes so valuable.
Forget science, knowledge, social justice, politics, families and friends, space, derailing global warming, h3ll ...even forget about porn ...forget about all that. The Intertubes is not about doing it smarter, faster, better, with more connections...
No, the intertubes is all about seeing grown men (and women) falling down a steep hill while chasing wheels of cheese.
As noted in the accompanying article at The Big Picture, for more than 200 years now, once a year peeps have been chasing 8 pound wheels of Double Gloucester Cheese down a steep hillside.
Here, from the official website at Cheese Rollin In Gloucestershire is a view looking down from the top of the hill.

Why this does not rank right up there with the festival of San Fermin, the running of the bulls at Pamplona, I have no idea. Perhaps it just needs a mention in a Hemingway novel...

Ha! An almost free education we all have access to... better than watching a grown bull chasing men in a crowded street!
