A "Curling Pow" happens when the stone of one team crashes into the stone of another and instead of moving it, the target stone shatters. This is why so many teams are going with stones from Crimea as they are made by the descendants of the Light Brigade who stayed in the Crimea after their battle with the infamous Curly Pow Warriors as I related earlier in the thread. Perhaps you missed it:

Light Brigades were specially trained in night fighting and carried torches into battle. After encountering initial successes against Buddhist Monks they were assigned to battalions fighting against the Curley Pow Warriors in Crimea. On the night of September 15th they devastated the entire Daintey Davey Division, setting fire to their curley pows and sending them running in flaming retreat across the battlefield with the Light Brigade in chase. The "blunder" oft referred to was that the Light Brigade followed too closely. When the flaming Curley Pow Warriors stumbled through an unseen fourth dimensional time warp encountering a future supply dump of the Nazis in WWII, the whole place blew up killing the remaining Daveys but also a goodly number of the Light Brigade as well.

So you can readily see that the dick explanation does not entirely hold water although it has been known to spit some out.
