High on the list of the world's crazier events is the Montana Testicle Festival held in Rock Creek Lodge just outside of Clinton, Montana every fall.

From it's humble beginnings a little over two decades ago, the Montana Testicle Festival now attracts in the region of 10,000 revellers from all walks of life for the five days of festivities.

There's live music, the Testy Festy Awards, bullshit bingo, body painting, a wet t-shirt competition, a hairy chest contest, loads to drink and of course - more testys than you can poke a stick at.

On the topic of testicles and why, Rod Lincoln, the creator of the Montana Testicle Festival has been quoted as saying, "it's the waste not, want not" tradition of Montana and, besides, many of the world's cultures consider testicles a delicacy. For the health conscious, he adds that "they're 70 percent or more protein, and, obviously, they're boneless."

So if you've got a few days to kill in September why not drop in on Rod and his friends in Montana. Tickets are a steal at only a tenner for the entire five days of festivities and chances are, you'll have a ball!
