  2. Paul Dancing Barbie, the only one time in a anti-robot war Japanese competition, Hebacon. Very cool. Yeah. There is a thing called the Bubble Baba Challenge. This is the Vowoksky River in Russia, so it's near St. Petersburg. It's a race, kind of a rafting race, but instead of a raf, you have a sex doll. It began in 2003. Anyone's allowed to enter, but you have to have a compulsory alcohol test before you start.
