15．Here is Booked．net's selection of the strangest events worldwide．
Elephant polo（象球）
The title is self-explanatory，but elephant polo is more interesting than the traditional alternative played on horses．Elephants make the game slower，and，because of this the field is only three-quarters the length of a standard polo field．The elephants carry two people and are guided by mahouts（看象人）．The player hits the ball and tells the mahout which way to go．The Kings Cup Elephant Polo Tournament is the sixth largest event in the Thai calendar．
Volcan de Lodo El Totumo
If you are in Colombia at the end of March，you should make Cartagena part of your journey-here．between December and March every year，is the opportunity to get dirty，Bathing in mud from the Volcan de Lodo El Totumo can best be described as a primitive experience．The volcano is diminutive（微小的），looking more like a little hill rising about 10to 15m from the ground．If you climb a wooden staircase to reach the very top，you will discover a pit（大坑）of gray mud．It is believed that the mud has a curing effect，purifying your skin．
La Tomatina

Then Mercury jumped into the river again．This time he took out a gold axe．"Is this your axe？"he asked．"No，"said the woodcutter，"my axe is not made of gold or silver．It is made of iron．"So Mercury jumped into the river a third time．This time he took out an iron axe．The woodcutter was very glad．It was his axe．

13．When European first came to Africa，they were amazed to find that many Africans had more than one wife．Because of this practice，many people thought that African men treated women like slaves．But these first impressions proved to be false．Until about 50 years ago，most African women had more freedom and independence （独立） than women in Western nations did．In some places of Africa，women have owned most businesses and been the chief traders for many years．In Europe，however，there were many places where women were not even allowed to own property．How about African marriages？When there is more than one wife，each woman depends on her husband less．In a traditional （传统的） African home，each woman lives in her own hut and runs her own household （家庭）．That kind of living arrangement gives the woman more independence．Each of the wives in an African family owns her own property and raises her own children．But some tasks，like cooking and baby-sitting （照看孩子），are shared with the other wives．Sharing these chores （家庭杂务） makes life easier for African women．

12．Many sports need the services of one or more referees（裁判）．You will find，for example，referees in swimming，diving competitions，football，skating，basketball，and tennis，among others．The referee's judgment，no matter what the sport is，can make the difference between winning and losing．
When a decision is announced，one can often hear loud cheering from the spectators（观众）．Sometimes the people don't agree with the decision．Usually，however，no matter what the people think，the decision of the judge is final．With the instant （即时的） replay television viewers often get a second chance to watch the special sports moments．Should the camera help the referees in making their decisions？Some people think so．The Japanese have been using the television instant replay in one of their sports for some time．
In Japan，where Sumo wrestling is thought by many to be the national sport，a wrestler named Taiho was trying to break Futabayama's record of 69victories．In the 46th match，Futabayama was declared the winner by mistake because the judges had not seen the wrestler's foot leave the circle．
Soon after the mistake，the people said that they had a right to see the match end with the correct winners since they had paid as much as $ 375for a ringside seat．Now cameras record the actions of wrestlers．The camera is the most important referee of all．If a man or a woman makes a mistake in judgments，the camera will correct it，and the instant replay will let everyone know it．The right winner will win．
