Bragging examples include Albert Bigelow Painehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Bigelow_Paine, "You're never alone with a Strand<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27re_never_alone_with_a_Strand ", Cow fighting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_fighting, and Conger cuddling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conger_cuddling. The last two reflect my current love for unusual articles.
The cow-fighting was interesting. I never heard of it, how did you? Conger cuddling sounds hilarious.

I heard about cow fighting on the QI (British TV show) forums at www.QI.com/talk, which has inspired several of my articles. In fact, Wikipedia has inspired many of their facts on the show and is a frequent source of information.
