Wacky Nation: 50 Unbelievable Days out at Britain's Craziest Contests is a humorous, often surreal travel book written by James Bamber and Sally Raynes (the creators of Wacky Nation), which showcases wacky races, weird world championships, crazy contests and zany traditions in the United Kingdom.The introduction describes the book as "an indispensable guide to the UK's most absurd, bizarre and even foolhardy sports. From worm charming to bog snorkelling, nettle eating to shin kicking, there's a great British tradition of holding very strange contests in which getting filthy, feeling sick, risking life and limb - and above all, looking ridiculous - are not mere side effects, but positively celebrated".Mickey Mouse and the Great Ostrich Race appeared as newspaper strips from January 6, 1936, to March 20, 1936. Mickey acquires an ostrich and has to use it to win a race to pay off bills it has run up. In the race is Goofy with a cart which has panels in with an extendable boxing glove to hit people trying to pass and other surprises. Donald Duck is driving a horse drawn bath of water with sprayers.
