The ludicrous degree of precision needed by a skip to hold an end together is simply startling.

That being said, I always shot lead rock =P Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:16:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (woogs) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?307402 http://www.osnews.com/thread?307402 What network was it on? Damn, I would have really like to watch it, just no idea it was actually happening. I was addicted to it the last Winter Olympics.

They already have enough experience with having to use inappropriate tools to perform inhumanly exacting tasks in short amounts of time in their day jobs.

Of course it may be hard to find as neither title is made anymore.

Excellent games that give you a chance to try it without having to be on real ice.
