ICING

Haven't heard of curling? Don't look at us--we only had one staff member who'd ever played the sport, and he grew up in Wisconsin. Basically, curling involves sliding a chunk of rock across a piece of ice and sweeping in front of it. A startlingly thorough site, with everything from the history of the sport to locations of clubs throughout the world. Don't miss the curling humor section, with clever bon mots like this: "Sign #4 that you're having a bad game... Your opposition is lying four and your skip wants you to throw your rock through the house." Get it? Neither do we.
