One-Armed Woodchopper Allowed to Compete
By: BizarreNews	Published: 09/04/2000
CANBERRA, Australia - How much wood could a woodchopper chop if a woodchopper had one arm? Just ask Nick Fredriksen, 15, who recently competed at the agricultural show in Queensland, Australia. Organizers of the Brisbane Exhibition initially banned Fredriksen from competing in the weekend event, which features log chopping contest, even though he competed successfully at the same show last year. The officials were worried he might accidentally let go of the axe and hurt somebody. But after his family hired lawyers, citing discrimination, the Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association agreed to let Nick compete after a safety fence was installed around the arena.

But I wonder... (0 replies) started by Anonymous Goofball (09.05.2000 11:04:42 AM EST) How many two-armed people have lost grip of their axes in the competition? Are they saying that it is impossible for a two-armed person to lose grip and very likely for a one-armed person?
