Pomologists Bite Off More Than They Can Chew With 200-Year-Old Apple Mystery

The Telegraph (UK) ^ | 1-30-2007 | Richard Savill

The French word for potato is "Pomme de Terre" or, "Apple of the Earth".
The French word for "French Fry" is "Pomme Frite".

It's like those French have a different word for everything.

[Physicist]

I find that picture distateful and inappropriate. This is an apple thread. It calls for a Seahawks cheerleader.

[FastCoyote]

"My kids were interested in this new species...but the jerk you are applauding means I can't let them read this thread. "

In other words, we must write to the level of four year olds. I don't think so.

Go start another site, call it freerepublicforkids.com
But please don't reduce the rough and tumble of FreeRepublic to a daycare center. At times the humor here can be even a bit risque, but the topics being discussed are often nitty gritty. For example, I follow the gsting corruption scandal here in Vegas, would you have me squelch my information on the lapdancers who serviced the politicians Harry Reid supported? Just so your kids don't hear about pimps and whores?

[FastCoyote]

"You are a jerk. Are women only sex objects? "

The answer would be yes. Next question.

[Frapster]

Curious - is the reason that your kids cannot see this driven by your spiritual convictions?

[lepton]

It kind of makes the point of the sight meaningless.

hehe

[It's me]

You, too, are a jerk.

[PistolPaknMama]

You're a jerk. My kids read FR.

I have no idea why juveniles have to post half nude pictures of women that have nothing to do with the topic. For sure it compromises FR's family rating.

[FastCoyote]

Y"ou, too, are a jerk."

And you are a tiny person with the reasoning skills of floriensis.

[It's me]

Oh, okay.

[jmc813]

Are women only sex objects?

Heck no! There's the cooking and the cleaning too.

Early nomination for 2007 FR Post of the Year.

[SubGeniusX]

You dont let your kids watch football????

[dcwusmc]

I refer you to post number 103 of this thread. Get a life.

[BraveHeart]

I have a huge collection of baseball caps. Does that make me a pompodorologist?

[LibKill]

That's no dog. It's a powder-puff with legs and a tail. :)

[Tokra]

Whenever I see someone with one of those little yippy dogs, I tell them, "That's not a dog - that's dog FOOD!"

Generally, they are not amused.

That's OK, because I am.
