    Exclamation A *ichigan man unearths more than 150 bowling balls during renovations...

    A *ichigan man unearths more than 150 bowling balls during renovations...



    On a normal day, most people don't expect to find a bowling ball sitting on their back step, but one man in Norton Shores found more than 158 beneath his.


    David Olson, 33, was demolishing the back steps of his house on the morning of July 1, when he saw a black sphere buried in the sand behind some cinder blocks.


    "That was one of the bowling balls. I didn't think a whole lot of it. I was kind of assuming maybe there were just a couple in there just to fill in. The deeper I got into it the more I realized it was just basically an entire gridwork of them making up the weight in there," Olson said.

    Fill is about all discarded bowling balls are useful for, they're to complicated to recycle.

    I could have gone all day without seeing that hairy chest. On the other hand, it is an appetite suppressant of sorts.

    Yeah, I agree. I can see it if somebody wants to post a photo of themselves with the bowling balls they found, maybe even lying on them - but what's the deal with the shirtless thing?

    It reminds me a bit of the photo I saw in somebody's anti-gun post on another forum years ago of a guy posing with his large collection of firearms - a photo which I most definitely will NOT be looking for and posting here...you're welcome - and he's lying amidst them in what looks like a black speedo.

    If they grind up rubber tires and mix them in asphalt (roadways) then I wonder why they cannot do the same thing with bowling balls?
