REAL-LIFE `MAD MAXES' WANTED FOR JUNKYARD WARS

LONDON (Wireless Flash) -- A real-life version of the "Road Warrior" is about to get underway in England -- and organizers are looking for a few "Mad Maxes" and "Mad Maxines" to participate. The scrap metal showdown will be the main event for a TV show titled "Junkyard Wars," which will pit teams of techies against each other to construct homemade weapons and vehicles from scrap metal in a London junkyard. Interested trash tinkers must pass a test for technical aptitude before getting on the show, and the winning team wins a trophy made from -- what else? -- scrap metal. The results of the battle will air on The Learning Channel next year.
