It’s Bowling, Shuffleboard, Darts and Tiddlywinks on Ice!

Like darts, but you can’t poke an eye out: Herald sports writer Aaron Swaney attempted to gain an appreciation for the Olympic sport of curling, in which the skip slides a granite stone down an icy lane toward a bull’s-eyelike target.
We can see its appeal for a few amateur athletes; with practice one should be able to guide one’s rock down the sheet while still holding onto a beer.
Thankfully, The Who kept their clothes on: A federal appeals court will re-examine the FCC fine it threw out against CBS for Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction,” a case that’s been kicking around the courts and the FCC since the 2004 Super Bowl.
But the case could be thrown out on a technicality because the original breast that Jackson bared for a half-second during the halftime show has since been replaced.
What if I have a receipt? A poll commissioned by the Internal Revenue Service showed that while 13 percent of Americans said it was acceptable to cheat on their taxes, 81 percent said “personal integrity” kept them from cheating.
When respondents were told that “personal integrity” was not tax-deductible, 53 percent changed their reason for not cheating to “abject fear of a tax audit.”
