I, for one, am shocked at the corruption of a couple of competitors in the Stone Skimming World Championship in Scotland.

Good thing they left no stone unturned to find the culprits.

I was this many years old when I learned there was a stone skimming championship.

The accusations rocked the competition.

I just learned this week about something called kubb, which looks like "Hey, crack a beer and try to knock down my **** and I'll try to knock down yours."

Now I learn about cheating in stone skimming championships.

What's next? Professional fishing? People throwing beanbags at holes in boards?

“We got weights!”



Those weights look like the size of golf balls.

And, they even stuffed some walleye fillets into these fish. That’s creative.

@spikechiquet - you ever cover this? Toledo Blade covered the story, and now even NYT.
