Have you ever actually tried curling though? Holy crap what a stupidly hard sport. I have no idea how the first person actually manages to get the damn thing to stop in the middle. I can hit something that's already there, but making it stop? sheesh...

Two real sports:

Chess Boxing. The two participants fight a round, play speed chess for a few minutes, then fight the next round.

Also there is extreme ironing. This involves ironing a shirt while hanging from a rope on the side of some tall structure.

But maybe I just watch too much TV.

Thanks for posting MadMabel.

I've heard of extreme ironing, but not Chess Boxing. That's awesome.

I'm intrigued. What's the catch other than all participants must be transvestites?
