Vodka, Anna Kournikova, caviar, chess champs, Anna Kournikova -- all are famous Russian exports. Add this one to the list: Flying keyboards. Moscow hosted the first computer keyboard throwing tournament this week where the "athletes" took their keyboards by the cords and hurled them as far as they could. A shot put event for stressed-out computer users! More than 100 people took part in the event, and a bunch of others put their best foot forward in the mouse kicking contest (computer mice of course). Instead of point and click -- it was point and kick! First prize? A new keyboard and mouse!
