Hurling? Same as Curling?

[txramsfan]

Educate this Yank. What the heck is Hurling? I went to WilliamHill.com and found a sport you could bet on in the UK called Hurling. I had to laugh, due to what hurling means in Texas. :o

Curling is the one with ugly, cleaning women on ice.
Hurling is Irish men with no teeth playing a cross between what you'd call field hockey, footie and the popular Japanese game, suicidal violence.
Do not try it at home..

If you think Hurling is a wild sport you should see the Scottish version. SHINTY!

PS. Check out the Curling World Championships taking place this week in Bismarck, N.D. Good to see the Scots doing so well again!
