Bowling Pins

Towering over their neighbors, these four giant pins were constructed to make it easier for planetary bowling newbies to achieve success. The Moon is a favorite ball for the cosmic players because it has a suitable heft and holes to insert fingers for control. But there are broad gutters - basically anywhere except the pins - due to differential gravitational attractions. Previous pins, destroyed in play were at " rel="nofollow Meidum, " rel="nofollow Pharos of Alexandria, and " rel="nofollow Angers, France. These are amongst the very few modern pins for the game, and the occurrence of new holes on " rel="nofollow Mars and even the " rel="nofollow Moon suggest that bowling balls of smaller dimensions are now simply being dropped.
