Or so I deduce from the biblical Latin apple/evil link. It's not something that comes up in everyday discussion.
Unless one tends to attract religious crazies. But my recent resurgence of interest in the apple-evil was down to the latest QI annual, I think.
The star inside the apple thing is one of those cool tricks to show kids. Makes you wonder, though, why we always cut apples vertically, and kiwifruit horizontally.

Do they miscount the points?
I think the problem is not so much maths as General Ignorance. And at least that conversation usually works out to be less offensive than the one where the other person has assumed I'm a Satanist.
I just really like apples.

Or a Hare Krishna at the door come to think of it, with or without tasty stuffed pastries.
We used to live up the road (91) and around the corner (95) from the Hare Krishna temple in Bealey Ave. It was excellent for tasty comestibles.
I'm not interested in knowing, they're not interested in telling me, and everyone is happy that way.
This certainly used to be the case, before I had children and socialised with other parents. My uni friends are still far more interested in discussing things like the viability of the bus exchange for Call of Cthulu LARPS - the upstairs concourse appears to have no right angles.

I'd love less crime shows, soaps and so called reality shows. How about something for people with slightly higher iq's.
Reality and satire just became completely indistinguishable.

It's a proven medical fact that television viewing destroys braincells, (I saw that on an infomercial), and the people who watch television are those who can least afford to lose any.
My tummy hurts...

Can I just mention how deeply disturbing I find the use of the word Merkin to mean American?

Jon Stewart on CPAC. Simultaneously funny and incredibly depressing.
Also, Kindle be damned, Faber's giving books away.

If I were to organise some kind of get-together* for the PAS readers in Wellington on the Saturday of the India/NZ test match, how many people would want to show up?
I shall be there in spirit, how's that? Or Hadyn could dress as me.
