You know what one person who's way too good at bar games? He or she steps up to a pool table like it's some kind of life-or-death situation, rather than a way to kill half an hour. YOU COULD BE THAT ANNOYING PERSON. You just have to buy your own equipment and practice at home every day!
We're going to go out on a non-Wikipedia-researching limb and say both of these games were invented in England. Probably around 1500 AD. Somebody want to prove us wrong? YOU'LL HAVE TO DO SOME ACTUAL RESEARCH.
