: Is there a difference between the game 'pool' that is played in many a bar and pool parlour, and 'billiards'? I could just google this, but I'm busy lurking on this bored, and don't want to open a new browser. Also, just who invented 'bumper pool'?
Billiards has little sort of skittles on the table and a thing like a mini wrecking ball(?) and you get to knock some down according to how you score as you pot balls - its really complicated - don't know how to play it exactly but as far as I can see, thats the difference.
: Who like air-hockey? I reign supreme (actually, I reign supreme over all but my older brother, who beats me 5 games to every 3 I beat him, but it's OK because recently our 'pool' games have gone just opposite).
I like it but I'm crap at it, even my 4yr old son can beat me (yes! THAT crap!!)
: Furthermore, what makes albacore tuna different from regular tuna?
Can't help you there I'm afraid!
: The person to answer all of these questions wins...OK, I'm poor and have nothing to give but a "thanks for being less lazy/more bored than me". So that's what you'll get.
I didn't know all the answers, but do I get a bonus prize for playing?
