Quidditch World Cup - for real

At some colleges in the United States, students play Quidditch (from the Harry Potter books). Basically, they run around with brooms between their legs and chase a human Snitch (dressed in yellow), throw bouncy Bludgers at people, and try to get a volleyball Quaffle through hoola hoops.

I'm not making this up. Read about the 2007 Quidditch World Cup here (there are photos) and an article about the origins of the Quidditch World Cup here.
