The challenge? Defeat 9,000 other near-naked men. The prize? Glory.

Check this out.

Though it's description as one of Japan's three oddest festivals may lead you to believe things like this are rare, I came dangerously close to joining a similar-sounding event translated as "Naked man wrestling" up in Fukuoka last month.

Also, please consider the fact that Near-Naked Man Wrestling has been around longer than America has been a country.

I'm curious as to what the other two oddest festivals are.
