    Further, he was about 33 years old when he
    cracked his head and died on a curling sheet
    nearly 25 years ago. His first name was Grant
    and he was the "manager" of an rival
    baseball team (Revenue Canada's Tax Dodgers).
    Even young people can slip, fall and die, but
    it is more common in the elderly.

    What is a curling sheet?


    Again, lack of Geographical Sensitivity on my
    part. ya got a hockey team down there... why
    not curling.

    It is a sheet of ice about 10 feet wide and
    120 feet long used for the sport (or
    activity) of curling where (filled) donut
    shaped rocks of granite, with handle on top,
    weighing about 20 to 30 pounds are thrown
    toward a distant target. The rock can be
    steered to some extent after release by
    sweeping in front of it with a broom or
    brush.

    Did I get that right, Jock? Brought to you by
    the people who brought you golf.

    That's the game on winter olympics that makes you switch to another
    channel.

    It is really quite interesting once you learn the strategy
    and level of skill required. It is a lot less boring than
    golf on TV but the scenery is not nearly as nice.
