San Francisco’s Lombard Street, full of hairpin curves and known as “the crookedest street in the world” was turned into Candyland Wednesday to celebrate the game’s 60th anniversary. Children from from UC San Francisco Children’s Hospital and the organization Friends of the Children formed teams to play the oversized game. They also interacted with game characters and enjoyed birthday cake. http://www.examiner.com/x-5494-SF-World-Travel-Examiner~y2009m8d18-Lombard-Street-in-San-Francisco-becomes-Candy-Land-for-a-day -via Metafilter

This has some serious potential to become a total bloodbath. I'd rather sue the snot out of a drunk driver than spend more money on some dead meat kid. Idea of the century right here.
