Can someone explain this sport to me?

It's not immediately obvious to you that you get chased by large rocks while running with a broom down a stretch of ice?

I've been watching this sport on USA for the past half-hour and the only reason I can see it being in the Olympics is because most of the chicks aren't flat-chested like all the other sports 
Curling is the result of people having beer, rocks, brooms, and a stretch of ice.
Can you think of a better way to combine them?

Let me rephrase this: Curling is the result of Canadians.

It's kinda like hockey, but with more alcohol.

And all the sticks substituted with brooms, because the increased alcohol consumption makes that seem like a good idea.

See the rock was bigger so it would have broken the brooms if they played hockey. Clearly they wern't too drunk when they made it.

I can't figure out how to "score" in this game; do you just knock the other oversized hockey puck out of the circle or something?
Wikipedia says that the two people with brooms direct the rock without touching it. Am I missing some telekinetic powers that I didn't know humans had?
They use the brooms to smooth the ice controlling how the rock slides. They are trying to get it to the center of a target at the end of the stretch of ice.

I believe that's supposed to mean they don't touch it with their bodies. Touching with the broom is okay

Wikipedia wrote:
After both teams have delivered eight stones, the team with the stone closest to the button is awarded one point for each of its own stones that is closer than the opponent's closest stone. Stones that are not in the house (further from the centre than the outer edge of the 12-foot (3.7 m) ring) do not score even if no opponent's stone is closer. A stone is considered in the house if any portion of its edge is over any portion of the 12-foot (3.7 m) ring. Since the bottom of the stone is rounded, a stone just barely in the house will not have any actual contact with the ring, which will pass under the rounded edge of the stone, but it still counts. This type of stone is known as a "biter".

You can't touch it with the broom.
the broom is used to adjust the ice so the stone slides differently. You can't touch the stone with the broom.
