Finnish team wins World Olive Picking Championship in Croatia

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFinland has won the World Olive Picking Championship in Croatia, and Finland does not have a single olive tree, UPI reports.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNo trees at all?

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNone. The team captain, Petri Utriainen, said so himself. Teams from ten countries competed on the island of Brac, and Finland beat the other nine.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFour people, picking by hand into traditional aprons, and they collected fifty-five point four kilograms in forty-five minutes. Where did they practice? A car park?

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt was their ninth championship to enter, and the captain said the goal was to beat last year's fourth place.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFourth to first. And the final weights stayed secret until the awards ceremony, so only the controller and the captains saw them.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI'd like an audit.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI have no theory. They picked olives faster than anyone else. That's the whole result.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy theory is the Finns have been quietly training on Mediterranean trees for years, while the rest of us were looking at our feet.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFifty-five point four kilograms in forty-five minutes. That's more than you've finished all year, Dale.
