Rubber Chickens
A streaker... probably the same man who's run onto the field during World Cup Soccer matches, the 2002 Super Bowl, and other events around the world- interupted the US vs. United Kingdom's Bronze medal Curling match on Friday. And you wondered why NBC's been covering every game of the sport? The real fun was in the end.

The Dutch Curling Team
The Dutch Curlers turned up at a news conference just to heckle Derrick Hendrick. Then made friends with Shani Davis's mom. And fooled a Washington Post reporter. Are they really the Dutch Curling Team? Many seem to think so. Yet, their names don't match. Perhaps, as Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post writes, is why one of thier names is "Oblong".
