:: You might not have heard it since many shows have been censored to be PC and not offend Atheist and people of other religions. Also, it depends on what the show thanks would be more relevant. Bowling is kind of a dead (somewhat boring) sport that has seen a decline in popularity, while drums have more staying power. Despite this, thunder and deitys involvement go hand in hand.

:::In regards to Google: ''No results found for "Thunder is just Jesus bowling in Heaven"'' and "Thunder is just angels bowling in Heaven" gives me five results. I think it is more likely not used as it is not commonplace rather than censored to be PC; besides, there are plenty or religious references in television (just not anything 4Kids gets their hands on). If the drum option is more common, then I don't see what relevance this has to Thundurus. Yes deities are often related to thunder—Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of lightning—but it doesn't seem to be relevant to the balls being related to bowling. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 16:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC) | :::In regards to Google: ''No results found for "Thunder is just Jesus bowling in Heaven"'' and "Thunder is just angels bowling in Heaven" gives me five results.

its not just something from TV, its something parents would tell their kids so they didn't fear lightning/thunderstorms as much. Sometimes people even related the two based on the familiarities of sound between thunder and bowling. Yes it's seen a recline in usage, but its still a common thing even if you've never heard of it. Maybe if you ask a older family member they might verify it for you? | |||
Also I was giving you a history on the saying, the drum thing is just one incarnation. And it could be argued that the balls are drum hammers, but that's beside the point. | |||
I'm getting tons of results, I don't know why you seem to be getting so few. I even got results for comics by cartoonist like you would see in a magazine or newspaper. You might be having issues with filters and/or censorship in your region? All i know is that I'm getting quite a few results, even with just the open phrase "Thunder is just the sound" [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 17:16, 11 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
