[Thank You Rush]

I hope I’m not the only one who had to look up the meaning of the word - amphorae.....

[GingisK]

You are not alone. ;-D

[Puppage]

Nope

[DannyTN]

Amphorae (plural of amphora) are ancient clay jars with two vertical handles and a narrow neck. They often taper to a pointed bottom so they could pack tightly in ships or stick into sand. People in ancient Greece and Rome used them to store and move wine, olive oil, and grain.

Me, too.

You have company.

Thanks DannyTN, looks like I lost track of my ping feed, thanks for taking care of it.

Not surprising, all, there are a bunch of topics in the amphora/amphorae/amphoras keywords, a little long when I combined and sorted ‘em, so not in this message.

Well, as soon as somebody said the word olive oil on this thread, I know exactly what was being talked about.

Popeye’s girlfriend.
