Is it wrong????

I don't know if it's "wrong" to not know the pin numbers.....maybe a little strange if you've been playing for a long time and still don't know them, but it's not like knowing them makes you better at bowling (as the guy who was making fun of you found out).

As far as interesting/funny names for leaves, here in Switzerland we call the 2-8, 1-5, or 3-9 (any leave with one pin directly in front of another) a "Schwiegermutter" (Mother-in-law). That always made me chuckle when I first heard it.

Mother-in-law; I absolutely love it! I'm going to start using that around here.
