Emo quote of the day

My life moves too fast for this internet connection!

Potato

I have the internet again! Now I can continue my random postings.

In that spirit, here is a listing of the words for "potato" in various languages. I have a theory that it is a consistently silly word across tongues and cultures.

Potato (English...)
Kartoffel (German)
Pomme de Terre (French)
Tapuakh Adama (Hebrew -- literally "Earth Apple", like in French. Who the hell looked at that thing and thought, "That looks like an apple." The French and the Jews, apparently.)
Kartoshka (Russian)
Papa (Spanish -- not to be confused with "papá", or "father")
Brambory (Czech -- possibly my favourite)

See!? All silly. Silly!

more to come.
