    Well the list contains 83 curlers, a city councilman, a heart doctor, the drummer for "Sloan" and a guy who puts a lot of stuff on Wikipedia. Which is where this exhaustive list no doubt came from.

    Also curlers from other countries who trained in Ottawa.

    Christian Bale filmed the newest Batman in Pittsburgh. That don't mean he's from Pittsburgh.

    Well said Brett. And referring to a curler as a "star" is a bit of a stretch. Right @synchkat :p

    wowowowow!!!!:noway:

    Well the list contains 83 curlers, a city councilman, a heart doctor, the drummer for "Sloan" and a guy who puts a lot of stuff on Wikipedia. Which is where this exhaustive list no doubt came from.

    Also curlers from other countries who trained in Ottawa.

    Christian Bale filmed the newest Batman in Pittsburgh. That don't mean he's from Pittsburgh.

    Well said Brett. And referring to a curler as a "star" is a bit of a stretch. Right @synchkat :p

    I'm always a star thank you very much

    I didn't see your name listed. :p

    I was asked to be taken off the list.

    Too many autograph seekers?
