    Billiards VS. the Church

    Thats interesting that they were banished for billiards. Amish people do play games (though obviously not video games). Here's something else interesting about the Amish - when they are young, they have a rite of passage, known as 'Rumspringa', where they temporarily leave their community to...

    Bensinger Car Curse

    Excellent digging. I guess its too hard to see if it was a freak accident or preempted murder. What about the owner of the car, Mr. Eide. And what happened in the Eide family after the accident and one generation thereafter?

    I am starting to take orders for building a cue....

    If you still dont have the equipment, why dont you rent it or work in someone else's workshop. I'm not saying that you don't have ability, as I have never seen a sample of your work. Why not post it after you get what you need. I think you need some ingenuity if you want to get orders.

    How come pool doesnt't have a mecca.

    I think people have differnent ideas for this mecca. Here's a fact from the so-called golden age of billiards in the USA - "The Recreation", a mammoth seven-story health spa, was a bustling Detroit business in the 1920's. It featured 103 tables, 88 bowling lanes, 20 barber chairs, three...

    The chalk in pool rooms in china is usually soft and messy. I always bring a cloth to wipe excess off the cue and my hands. Your average Joe actually knows nothing about why chalk is used and how to apply chalk to the tip.

    What would you do after 4 yrs?

    I think its probably a fair thing to say we've all been burned before, regardless of our education or intelligence. Maybe you loaned a 'friend' some money and he gave you an excuse-a-day or moved away, maybe you bought something from a store and they didn't give you the satisfaction you...

    LF: COSMO CHALK...... CAN ANYBODY HELP??? Please!

    Shipped from mainland via TNT Global Express with insurance and tracking. $50 shipping is flat rate fee. It's more reasonable than UPS to the USA, they charge $100. I agree that the price is on the higher range. Chalk lasts a long time. Think about going to the movies and paying $12 a ticket...

In 15th century France billiards play was forbidden by the Church as well as the King. In early American history, owing to religious influences, actual...

    if they don't have a patent, they dont have a case. it has nothing at all to do with copyright law. I see chinese companies that rip off american companies everyday in accounting software (kingdee is a ripoff of quickbooks) social media software (weibo is a ripoff of twitter), weixin is a ripoff...
