>I was surprised to learn that Ten Pin Bowling got it name as evasion in the face of Puritan proscription of Nine Pin…!

As a kid, I remember my Dad having a huge stack of "Classics Illustrated" comics. The one that had both "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip van Winkle" stuck with me precisley because the old Dutch guys were playing nine-pins. I remember thinking at the time, (orientating myself to use words favoured by our Louahvul ayleur) "There ain't no such game".
