Article Abstract:
Curling is a strange sport that originated in Scotland and is played like shuffleboard on ice in Alaska. Despite all the ice in Alaska, the sport is played at indoor rinks. Players wear funny hats, and the curling stones are even funnier-looking. They are shaped like small, cordless vacuum cleaners.
