CURLING ----------------------------NON-SPORT
Curling? Think of shuffleboard on ice.
I decided to put curling to the test mainly for our Canadian
friends since most people in the US probably don't have clue one
about what this nifty little game is all about.
Curling ranked low in all areas but especially low in physical
exertion, and it should be obvious why, because there is no physical
exertion needed for this.
Like I said, shuffleboard on ice, I still can't figure out the
brooms though.
If it weren't so cold to play, I'm sure there would be a much
larger following in the U.S… on second thought, maybe not.
FINAL WORD: Leisure activity

Facts:
· According to the Canadian Curling Association's
official web page, the origins of curling will remain a mystery… no
kidding!
· The site also claims that one of thrills of curling is
listening to the stone as it grinds and slides across the ice… now
that's a good time.
· Did you know that curling has a "Code of
Ethics"? Anything with a code of ethics has no real chance of being
a sport; can you imagine football with a code of ethics? Remember,
if you're not cheating, you're not trying.
