Yes, you read that headline correct. Check out this story about a church in Sweeden that has won the prestigeous 2008 Church Cock of the Year. Some great quotes from the article. Such as:

“It’s a lovely cock,” said Anna-Maria Larsson, the parish vicar

and this, which really was taken directly from the news source, got to love those Swedes

Alnö’s weathercock beat off stiff competition from four other finalists for the 2008 award

Just in case you thought this contest ws just a matter of finding the biggest cock:

“There aren’t really any scientific criteria for how the cock is chosen,” said Torbjörn Österholm

What, I hear you ask, does the winner of this prestigeous award get? Why they get a picture of their cock to hang on the wall.

An oil painting of the winning cock is presented to the victorious parish church

And that’s all I have to say about that.
