Curling is just plain weird....I'd like to know the circumstance where that game was actually created, let alone considered a sport.
I think curling players (curlers?) must have some mad house-cleaning skills.

It's actually very entertaining to watch. A lot of strategy involved, like chess. I'd like to see more of it but it's a shame I would have to wait 4 years to see it again.
