Ten Pin Bowling has attracted many followers over the years, in fact it’s a hugely popular sport all over the world. Josh Tuminalla,, a designer, has decided to replace the same old same old bowling alley with this new circular bowling alley!

Not only does it add a new dimension to the game, it also makes it more accessible for people to put one in their home! It’s been dubbed the “Bowler Rink” and lets two players play at once, while the spectators can surround the lane and cheer on their favorite player.

The Bowler Rink requires a new technique as the ball is smaller with no finger holes and the pins are hollow aluminum, gives the game a completely different look, sound and feel! Nifty!


2010 Olympic Torch Alludes to Substances Athletes Aren’t Allowed

The next Olympics are coming up next year in Vancouver, and they’ve just unveiled the new Olympic torch. It’s made from stainless steel, aluminum and sheet moulding and was created to evoke snow, ice, skiing and skating. But a lot of locals and I think it looks like something else entirely…

Yes, that’s right, it kind of looks like a joint. And with Vancouver known to be a marijuana-friendly city I can’t help wonder it this was intentional or not. It certainly is a distinctive look for the torch, right?


This is the Money Shot!

Pictured above is the toughest golf shot on earth!

Million Dollar Shot

It requires you to drive the ball off the top of a mountain at the Legend Golf and Safari Resort right here in South Africa. The ball needs to travel over a forest and onto the green that is 400m away. If you get a hole in one, you automatically win $1m baby!

Watch the video to see why you need a helicopter just to tee off!

Outpaced by the Red Bull cars, the Brawns of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello had to find some kind of joy with third and fourth places. Boohoo!

When I first read this I couldn’t believe my eyes! It’s not like we’re dealing with the world cup here, so why shoot a player in fear of having your team lose?! Oh wait, it happened in Iraq! That explains everything.

The real question is… Did the Buhairat team ever get to take the penalty shot and call it a draw???
