Pizza to go go go! In 2000, Pizza Hut delivered a salami pizza on board a delivery rocket to Yuri Usachov, an astronaut orbiting Earth on the International Space Station. Extra strong spices were used because time in space can deaden the tastebuds. Texan artist Alyce Santoro makes clothes from stitched cassette tapes- which will still play sounds if you run a cassette player head over the fabric! The traditional Colombian sport of tejo involves throwing metal discs at explosive targets!
