Curling was invented:
A) In 1872 by a rebel sect of the CSF (Canadian Shuffleboard Federation) who thought shuffleboard was for pussies.
B) In the 1500's by a group of drunk Scottish men who pushed stones across a frozen lake to pass time, as they slowly died of hypothermia.
C) By Alaskan Wiccan witches in 1904 as they tried to explain to authorities why they always carried broomsticks. These quick-thinking Wiccans made up the rules of Curling on the fly, but it was to no avail as they were beheaded the following day. It's unknown if they were beheaded for witchcraft or inventing the world's lamest sport.
D) Nobody invented Curling, it has always been and shall always be.
Answer below....
"B" is the correct answer. For a sport that's over 500 years old, it surprisingly just made it's Olympic debut in 1998. Kinda of makes me wonder if the Olympic committee thinks Curling blows too.
When was that photo taken? 1960??
