A radio station in Madison, Wis. this week halted a contest in which neither finalist showed signs of backing down even after spending nearly two months together in a truck.
Tommy Kempfer, 26, of Sun Prairie, and Lisa Thompson, 40, of Westfield, were vying to be the last person in the truck to win a new $30,000 vehicle.
They were allowed 10-minute breaks every three hours, time they used to eat healthy foods, exercise and talk to radio listeners. But after 55 days, officials with WMAD-FM "Star Country" in Madison began to worry the contest would never end.
So on Tuesday, the station offered Kempfer and Thompson a compromise -- end the contest and each would receive $10,000 toward the purchase of a car, trips for two to Las Vegas and $1,000 for a mattress. The pair was given an hour to accept or the contest would continue with the runner-up receiving nothing. Within 15 minutes, both agreed to the deal.

French say they need the biggest condoms
The French say they need the largest condoms in Europe while Greeks get by on smaller ones, according to a Europe-wide study by a German consultancy that provides advice on condoms.The study by the Singen-based Institute of Condom Consultancy was done by asking 10,500 men in 25 countries to measure their penis and enter the number into a database. The results show Frenchmen on average claim to need 15.48-cm (6.09-inch) long condoms, about 3 cm longer than Greeks, whose condom-size requirement was the most modest.

8 YO who vowed 1000th spanking would be his last, kills dad
An eight-year-old US boy accused of murdering his father and a family friend kept a tally of his parents' smackings, vowing that the 1,000th time would be the last, police believe.
The double murder on Nov 5 shocked the US, with investigators initially struggling to find any motive.
However, according to police records reported by the Arizona Republic, the boy "is believed to have made ledgers and/or communicated in the form of writings about his intentions" if his father and stepmother continued to smack him.
According to the police records, the boy told a Child Protective Services official that "when he reached one thousand spankings . . . that would be his limit. [The boy] kept a tally of his spankings on a piece of paper."
.
Even if he got one spanking a day it would take 2.73 years
.
What if he only got 56 spankings in 8 years and was just a really ***** counter?
