My wife and I were on the edge of our seats watching last night.

We wondered about a few things and realized a few things.

The action is so rigorous we now know why Russia curlers had to dope.

How much technology went into the uniforms?

Did the guy on the Canadian team shave his head to cut down on wind
resistance?

Do you think their sponger's budget is over $500?

Will the future Summer Olympics ever have flips and tricks while being
launched from a Seesaw? Bail out tricks from a swing set? Hop Scotch?
Hide and go seek? Mother May I? Your It/Chase? ;~)

Oh Wait, Red Light Green Light. Almost for got that one.


One question:

Have you ever tried Curling?

Ok, two:

Do you think you could slide a 42 lb rock ~120' down the ice and have it end
up within inches of where you planned to put it, especially when your plan
is to put it behind 3 rocks that are in the way of your intended target,
while at the same time moving other, specific rocks, with your rock and
often having *them* also end up where you want them to?

Just asking...

(Yes, the doping thing is really stupid, but I seriously doubt that he doped
(if he actually did) to improve his curling skills)
