Wellcat started this Curling is Cool to bring attention to the addition of curling to the Olympic sports line-up.
The World Curling Federation describes the origin of curling thus:
"Paintings by a 16th-century Flemish Artist, Pieter Bruegel (1530-1569), portrayed an activity similar to curling played on frozen ponds.
