Competitive lock picking
I am constantly amazed at the kinds of things that get made into serious competitions.
In this video, Schuyler Towne explains what this particular sport is and how it is done (via Boing Boing).
I am a theoretical physicist and currently Director of UCITE (University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education) at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I am the author of three books: God vs. Darwin: The War Between Evolution and Creationism in the Classroom (2009), The Achievement Gap in US education: Canaries in the Mine (2005), and Quest for Truth: Scientific Progress and Religious Beliefs (2000).

This looks like fun - though I can see that the police might take a dim view of it when you practice this outside your home ;-)
Lockpick is a great sport. Just bought a lockpick set on http://www.lockpickshop.nl
Lockpicking is a lost art. Those that are skilled at it (and we are few!) like to compete with each other and learn from each other. It's a test of skill with loads of respect.
