        Yeah 19 is just cruel taunting in that city. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 18, 12:52
      - At 19 you would've had that problem anywhere though so you can't really blame Vegas. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 18, 12:51 4

the thing is, zork, that not even close to the "bulk" of his endorsements have been cancelled... - x Feb 18, 12:29 3
- but will they be renewed and for how much less? -- nm - zork Feb 18, 12:53 2
  - we don't know, but your statement that i'm refuting was "he still is losing the bulk of his income, i.e. endorsements" - x Feb 18, 12:55 1

Poll: Who knows how many revolutions of the curling stone will produce the most curl? -- nm - zork Feb 18, 12:28 21
- I got no frickin clue -- nm - Shuster Feb 18, 12:47
- usually 2 1/2 is ideal, but it depends on what kind of shot you'rew throwing. -- nm - Reagen Feb 18, 12:35
- We only need one! Viva los curling stone! -- nm - Che Guevara Feb 18, 12:31
- infinite revolutions!...nm - x Feb 18, 12:30 1
  - nope (Reagen is right) because if it spins too quickly you lose all static friction and kinetic friction has a lower coefficient -- nm - zork Feb 18, 12:56
- I didn't realize there was an actual number for this. I thought it was just done by feel and instinct. -- nm - Mop (227 lbs) Feb 18, 12:30
- is this one of the "no right answer" questions? -- nm - Epiphany Feb 18, 12:29
- I don't even know what this means -- nm - decline Feb 18, 12:29 2
  - as the stone rotates, it pulls to one side or another, causing the trajectory to form an arc, or a "curl" ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 12:29 1
    - rotate too fast, it won't do that properly. Too slow, and it won't do it enough. - Beryllium Feb 18, 12:30
- i know you're joking, but that actually depends on the pebbling. -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 12:29 9
  - no joke. 2 and half usually produces the most curl -- nm - zork Feb 18, 12:57
  - you are just making up words now, right??? - groiny Feb 18, 12:29 7
    - Smooth flat ice is actually terrible for throwing the shots. You need the right pebble to get the consistent movement on the rock. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 18, 12:33 5
      - so this sport is not for athletes, but physics majors? nm -- nm - groiny Feb 18, 12:33 4
        
        It's a strategy game with a physical element. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 18, 12:35

        Me too. Even worse: she was a producer of the show and had no issues with having her co-stars get naked. But not her. -- nm - pmb Feb 18, 12:38 1
