The Pl/1 bowling ball would disappear into an array of pointers.

people are away etc. I know many of you would prefer to spend new year's eve at SLUG but we (the committee) think Tenpin Bowling somewhat earlier in the month would be good. I volunteered to organise it.
The idea is to have teams of programming languages for example. I guess
The Java bowling ball would have an API of holes for left and right handed people and would bowl smoothly on any surface - but it would roll ever sooo slowly down the alley.
The Perl ball would have 20 different ways to place your fingers in the holes.
The Python ball would be coloured blue.
With the C ball you have to allocate the number of holes that you want when you sign out the ball and make sure that you return the ball with the same number of holes at the end of the evening.
The Fortran ball would be able to handle having an entire array of balls all send down the alley at once with a single swing.
