39
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.439
England's King Henry the Eighth had bowling lanes installed in

00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.120
his Castle. Dude loved the bull, but he didn't want
41
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:49.919
poor people to bowl with the rich people, so he
42
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.879
put a big tax on it, so that prevented the
43
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.520
poor from bowling. So how old is bowling? Oh, it
44
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.759
goes back to around five thousand years ago over in
45
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:01.520

She wrote a.
48
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.120
Letter to presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln. She said she couldn't
49
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:07.960
vote for him, but she really wanted him to win.
50
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.800
Then she told him to grow a beard. She said,
51
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.039
you would look a great deal better because of your
52
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.759
thin face. Plus the lady love whiskers. Well. He wrote
53
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.240
her back, and he said that he had never had
54
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.560
a beard, but he would think about it, thought about it,
55
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.039
and grow beard. Then he won the election. On his

59
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:31.960
Ate been over and gave Grace a kiss on the
60
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.639
cheeks so she could fill his whiskers. Now, Lincoln, he
61
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.479
