Talk about EcoGeeks...whoo!

I don't know how I missed this, but apparantly Jerry Yang and David Filo, the co-founders of Yahoo! recently sumo wrestled for the environment.

Just after Earth Day, Yahoo! asked its employees to decrease their energy use by 20%. Carpooling more, printing less, eating less meat, etc. And, if they could do that, they would get to watch as Jerry and Filo Sumo wrestled each other on the Yahoo! campus grounds.

Well, the employees succeeded, and so they Sumoed. Apparently, Filo kinda kicked ass. According to one onlooker, the outcome was not unexpected: "Filo's just a lot more competitive."

There's a fairly cheesy video of the Sumo wrestling after the jump. Man...you gotta love the creativity here.
