Spain Holds First National Siesta Championship 11
Hundreds of contestants are competing in Madrid to be crowned the nation's best sleeper. The first national siesta championship is being held in a shopping center, with first prize being $1,400 in shopping credit. Sleepers get points for any unusual positions they sleep in, unusual pajamas, and extra points for snoring. From the article: "'The modern life is a danger that we feel is against the siesta. When you sleep la siesta everyone has the image that your life is calm, you have a good life. And then, the modern life is a direct attack,' said Daniel Blanco, president of the National Association of Friends of the Siesta."

Naps are f*cking awesome.
Naps are awesome because they're that time when you get to be asleep, as compared to the rest of the time when you are running around fixing things for other people who aren't as tech-savvy.
I wish we all could have naps every day. Especially on those days when we're up 'till 3 in the morning fixing some server in a room that sounds like a jet engine is taking off about 3U away from your head.
Sure, maybe it's a contest, but it's about naps. Remember: Sleep is holy!
