In today's episode of 'What Were They Thinking?', we have the baffling case of individuals allegedly cheating at the sport of curling. Yes, curling—the one with the ice, brooms, and stones. It's a game that combines the excitement of sweeping with the thrill of watching paint dry.

The world collectively raised an eyebrow at this odd turn of events. Cheating scandals in sports are usually reserved for high-octane, adrenaline-pumping activities, not a leisurely pastime like curling. The question on everyone's mind is: what could possibly be at stake in curling that would drive someone to cheat?

This story has all the elements of a good comedy: the absurdity of the situation, the incredulousness of the public, and the sheer silliness of cheating at a sport where the biggest challenge is not falling on the ice. It's a reminder that sometimes reality is stranger—and funnier—than fiction.
