World Homeless Games Names New Swim Champ

The 2009 World Homeless Games, held

simultaneously in Lahore Pakistan and Detroit Michigan, has just announced the winner of its first race: the 200m Municipal Sewer Crawl.

Pictured here preparing to cross the finish line is Detroit resident Leroi Slowbuut (in skullcap) who completed the event one month sooner than his next closest competitor. The slower moving ex-New York City Councilman Florio Titulashi (immediately behind him in the photo) was eaten by a school of piranha before he was able to complete the event. Event coordinators were puzzled as to how the fish, native to South American waters, were introduced into the Detroit sewer system.
