I can here the Brits screaming “Run for your lives, the
blue rubber duckies are attacking!!!”, must have been horrible…Well not really, it was just the annual
Great British Duck Race, a charity event where people paid 2 ponds two enlist their
rubber ducky in a race on the river
Thames.
The prize was 10,000 pounds for the
fastest floating rubber duck on the river and all the earnings went to charity. In case you were wondering, the
rubber ducks were blue because last year, when they were yellow, people threw their own ducks without paying the fee.
This year’s
Great British Duck Race scored a new world record for the
most rubber ducks in one place, around 250,000. I wonder who had the “pleasure” of counting them.
