Last year, Crown Princess and heir designate Victoria of Sweden married in Stockholm. A part of the wedding procession that recieved a bit of comment was the four Men In Black (actually, three men and a woman) who jogged along the horse carriage of the royal couple all through the whole festive parade, dressed in black suits and sunglasses.
In commemoration of this, and the one-year anniversary of the wedding, some Swedish running enthusiasts set up an event today: The SÄPO (Security Police) jog, a collective jog following the rout of the wedding parade, with all the runners dressed in black suits and ties, with sunglasses, earphones and water pistols. ;D
Looks quite funny in the pictures...

LOL!
I love a nation that permits itself to not take itself too seriously.
Toast-worthy, I'd think.
