Duck Race 2011

Is this the origin of the phrase 'like a duck out of water'? If ever there was an event misnamed it must be the 'Duck Race'! Ought to be 'Duck Float', 'Duck Dawdle', 'Duck Drift' or 'Duck Dribble'.
1,000 plastic ducks negotiating a route down a weed choked stream helped along by a swift smack with a canoe paddle. Could this be an olympic event? Sychronised ducking.


Try and sort a winner out of this lot. It must be a mass photo finish.

This should be an RSPCA matter. Mass culling of yellow ducks, caught in a crude net, thrust into black bin liners and locked into a backstreet garage for a whole year. The Lion president was questioned but he ducked the issue.
