The satirical list was called "Surprising Facts About Curling" and went as follows:

10. Every year it's watched by dozens of people.

9. Consistently ranked the world's No. 1 broom-related sport.

8. It's a lot like hockey, minus the speed and excitement.

7. No No. 7 -- writer fell asleep while researching curling facts.

6. Not to be confused with Norwegian sport "Carling" where you push a guy named Carl across the ice.

5. Longest match ever: unknown, because no on ever stays till the end.
4. No No. 4 -- writer still asleep. Damn, curling is boring.

3. Mickey Rourke making film about washed-up curling legend who comes back for one last big curl.

2. Thing they slide down the ice is called "thing they slide down the ice."
