Declan Foley, 15, and Daniel Dixon, 16, from Hale Barns, want to wrestle in custard, roll down a giant hill in bubble-wrap and organise a mass march in Manchester in SUPPORT of the government.
Other wacky plans include serenading a teacher, tying a é10 note to a piece of string and watching someone chase it and throwing a custard pie in a stranger's face.
Their 101-item `Life List' was an internet sensation even before hundreds of youngsters turned up at Manchester town hall for a pillow fight on December 23.
The fight was number 17 on the list which they are about a third of the way through.
The pair have also `crowd surfed' at a Basement Jaxx concert at the M.E.N. Arena, started a slow handclap at an Old Trafford football match, and become ordained ministers.
Naked run
Declan has also completed the challenge to do a streak when he ran around the streets of Timperley naked.
Daniel said: "Dec's a bit of an exhibitionist.
"We were just messing around at a friend's house in Timperley when he decided to do that.
"It was still light outside and there were quite a few people around. I think they were a bit bemused. He's also done a skinny dip while he was on a camping trip in Wales so I guess he likes that kind of thing."
They revealed that the inspiration for the `Life List' came from the classroom.
Daniel said: "We were just at school, bored, thinking about things to do and there was nothing, so we decided to come up with this list.
Party
"We're really determined to get it completed and at the end of it we're going to have a massive party - the biggest one Manchester has ever seen."
But they may have their work cut out judging by what is left on the list.
"For `milking a cow' I think we're just going to go to a local farm and tell the farmer about our list," said Daniel. "Hopefully he will see the funny side and help us out."
And Declan added that `throwing a dart at a map of Britain and travelling to where it lands' could be tricky.
The pair have until Declan's 18th birthday in February 2009 to tick off each of the challenges.

"Other wacky plans include throwing a custard pie in a stranger's face."
I hope these inconsiderate prats
throw it in my barmy mate's face.
They won't be doing many "capers" for a while if they did.
Glad the kids of today have such good ambitions and aren't wasting their time trying to get an education so they can help eradicate poverty or improve the health of the nation.
Barney not Barmy
Why did'nt they have the pillow fight in hale barns.
It cost a fortune to clean up after them . Their borough council should fit the bill!
They make a mess but NOT on their own doorstep. If it happened in Hale you would never hear the end of it . Besides is so boring and dull in Hale barns
"For `milking a cow' I think we're just going to go to a local farm and tell the farmer about our list"
I pray that whomever the cow is gives them a good kicking in their noggin.
Really, teenagers these days [including those over here] are supposedly better-educated, but apparently this pair of specimens have shown that education is wasted on them.
these two need to get a life...obviously the trappings of living in Hale Barns haven't yet given them common sense!
oh dear me..it's a bit of a joke. and at least they're thinking of fun things to do instead of attempting to mug old ladies or something. i think the ADULTS of today need to lighten up!
Well Anon of Manchester, maybe
you are the stranger who gets a faceful of custard pie on your way to work eh ? I bet you wouldn't "lighten up" then would you ?
Well said Anon! Better than gaining themselves an ASBO. These guys aren't even 18 yet- let them be kids!
lighten up. the whole thing is for fun and you all talk as if the whole world needs to be serious and never smile, Get a life, yeah? these guys are clever and imaginative enough to come up with this thing so let them do it, its not going to harm anyone.

read this before you start whinging!
and what the hell do any of u people know about them two!
and al capone, you not hard.
shut up.
Really, you all need to cheer up! I'd rather have a custard pie thrown in my face than get mugged or raped!
What makes this any different to those T.V. shows that everybody watches, with pranks on?
Oh, that's right. These jokes/activities are carried out by kids, and they're not half as offensive or nasty!
There's no need to be so judgemental all the time! Just look on the funny side!
Their not even from hale or hale barns!! how can u judge if all u do is sit at ur computer n submit comments to a website when nobody really cares about ur opinion,at least their on tv !!! (directed towards lee,manchester)
these young men will go far in life, they are able to think outside the proverbial box and seem to have a healthy zest for life. one of my ambitions is to see the m.e.n. implement a minimum i.q. level for people to submit comments on the stories!!!!
To Lesley: Healthy zest for life? Sure they do, but it comes with common sense, practicality and responsibility. Which seems to be sorely missing in today's youth.
Btw, what's your IQ? Mine's 165 and it's proven. Oh I could go on about my "zany" business ideas too...
wot can i say! lookin over some of the comments made by older people. im shocked, just because two lads want to have a laugh, doesnt mean their not educated! You so called ADULTS really do get on me nerves! cant be doing with any of you. us "YOUTHS" are the future regardless wether you like it or not, so get used to it because we are the one's who will be looking after you in the nursing homes. Thats rite - WATCH OUT!
well i think its quite funny and at least they are having fun rather than getting into trouble, my friends and i did something similar to this when we left college and we ended up clubing in Milton Keynes! (not good) we jumped into the river Ouse in York off a bridge in the centre, dressed like men for a day, sledged down a steep hill in a plastic fertilizer bag, swung and tried to jump across a river on a tyre swing, ate business cards to see who could eat the most and various other things and it was a right laugh, come on you oldies surely you haven't forgotten what its like to be young i know i haven't. good luck lads i hope you manage to do all your tasks
Al Capone - Your Hard as nails arnt you! What a load of giberish! whats your mate going to do. You need to get a life! All you golden oldies need to go live in a nursing home!
They're having fun.
End of.
If you complain about that...kinda makes you sound like you have
a) No sense of humour, and
b) A rather long stick stuck up...
And the initiative and humour shown in the life list is far more impressive than a randomner quoting their IQ on the comments section of an article on a local newspaper.
