Transcript:
Logan, Ohio, USA, is home to an annual washboard music festival celebrating the use of laundry equipment as musical instruments! David Dopp of Santaquin, Utah, USA, won a $300,000 Lamborghini sports car in November 2011, and within 6 hours of driving away with it- he crashed it! Oldie but a goodie! Hans Fledmeier of Rostock, Germany, received a tin of lard in 1948 from a US food aid program and finally decided to eat the 64-year-old contents in 2012!

Actually, the music is pretty good, amazingly and the whole thing is a ton of fun. We went up last year to see it.

You know, Hans could have put that can on eBay and got about $100 for it … before it was opened. Just sayin.

Ugh! Did Herr Feldmeier really eat 60 year old lard. I bet it wrecked havoc with his digestive system. Barf!
