We made it to round 3?



Even Stewie get jacked from bowling

What I have learned from researching bowling in that this is a wonderful first date idea. it is very healthy, it is a good icebreaker to start to know the person, also to can get everything from a date there. for example if you want food then you can get food there. also it is not going to cost you $100 like it would on a dinner date. I believe that some of the reason of the decline in bowling is that people have sucha fast pace life that they arn't able to take the time out of there busy lifes and go bowl a couple of games. Back to the bowling for a first date, it is very good for people to go bowling because people get the social aspect on with they do not encounter on an everyday bases. How often are you surronded by a bunch of people that are doing just as bad as you in something, or just as good as you. it provokes a competition into people that maybe they normally wouldn't encounter.  





People at GMA go bowling too!!!



Bowling on TV has been shown to be a joke and something to laugh at.



Round #2

Today i thought that i should Take a look at the history of the sport before taking a huge step into determining what effect bowling. What i didn't know about bowling is that it originated around 1700 year ago in germany.In Germany, the game had its origin as a religious ceremony for determining absence of sin. The first mention of it though was when King Edward III decided that it would be a good idea to ban it, because appearently it was destracting the troops from there archery practice. Afterward when King Herny VIII, the game became more popular, and was more know for being a nobility/social status. Bowling started to appear in the United States in the 17th century, but was addapted in many different ways because of all the culturals. Bowling was actually banned in the 1841 because of all the gambaling implication. In the 1950's when the first TV broadcast of bowling appeared, the sport took off.  Resently though it has been the highest particpant sport in the world with 95 million people playing in over 90 countries. It is believed by many that a passion for hitting a bowling pin with an object. Bowling has become such a popular sport that people would rather do it at home, which it kind of a downer for me because the bowling has such an atmosphere when someone is actually doing it in person. Where i would like to go with this is looking at which point in history did the social status of bowling went fromo being really high, to being the last thing mentioned in a casual conversation. Also i want to look at why did it spread so fast that the whole world started to take off.
