*5 Facts About Bowling* 🎳

*1. It’s 5,000+ Years Old*
Archaeologists found bowling pins + balls in a 3200 BC Egyptian tomb. Older than the pyramids.

*2. A “Turkey” = 3 Strikes in a Row*
In the 1800s, bowling alleys gave away live turkeys for 3 straight strikes during holidays.

*3. Perfect Score is 300, Max Possible is 300*
12 strikes in a row = 300 game. Only ∼3% of league bowlers ever bowl one.

*4. Heaviest Ball Allowed is 16 lbs*
But most pros use 14-15 lbs. Heavier ≠ better. Control beats weight.

*5. Bowling Was Once Illegal in America*
In 1841, Connecticut banned 9-pin bowling because of gambling. So people added a 10th pin to dodge the law — and 10-pin was born.
