"Could you take off your crown of thorns, please? I can't see the screen." At least someone has a sense of humor about this film ('course, it may not be the PC-est of humor, but still...)

  • [what is aramaic for banana?]
  • Bananas weren't really cultivated widely or traded until the middle ages, so there wouldn't have been a 1st century Aramaic word for them.. I think at that time there were only a couple of varieties, & were still so full of seeds that they would have been considered inedible by 'Old Worlders'. Could be wrong. Arabic 'Mautz' derived from some Sanskrit word which I forget, I think turns up in around 10th century. Too drunk to look for it.
  • You're drunk, I'm tired. But what you wrote was kind of my implication. There is no there there, lexicographically speaking (if I may).
  • Yeah, but I wanted to be pedantic about bananas.
  • One day I will unload my banana story on youse all. My banana experience is extensive.
  • UNLOAD THE BANANAS! *stands well back*
  • I'm sure if this was Metafilter, we'd actually have maybe one or two people who were offended. Me, I'm delightfully amused.
  • Monkeyfilter : You're drunk, I'm tired.
