DID YOU KNOW?
That the height of a bowling pin or the circumference of a bowling pin? They are the same! A Bowling Pin is 15 inches tall and 15 inches at the widest part of the pin.
BANNED?
According to the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame, King Edward III and King Richard II banned the game for a good chunk of the 14th century. That’s nearly a hundred years without bowling. The reasoning? People were bowling too much, and not practicing their archery nearly enough. Without a way to parlay bowling into a national defense strategy, it was labeled a distraction, and pushed aside in favor of archery.
