As much an art form as a sport, it’s something like volleyball on water, but with a much smaller ball, and, at its best, in the style of a football player taking a spectacular professional dive.

World`s Longest Sausage Made In Vinkovci Croatia
On Saturday February 14, 2009 Croatians in Vinkovci cooked up what they claim to be the world’s largest sausage, measuring 530 metres or 1,738 feet.
