Lumanny the Space Jew Dr. Awkward Quote: Mmmhmm.. Are you sure about that? is till think we are mortal enemies. You ban my friend, you call my parents space-conceivers..! Guild drama isn't kosher. I've been banned from guilds, and I've stayed friends with the crew. Really, I'd rather we all be friends here. Quote: Well, okay, if you insist, we can be enemies, if it makes you feel better. Meanwhile, have some pie? Good answer. Now, back to my usual slightly trollish humor. Hey, talk to her about it, not me. Sure, boytchik. Hey, Divash, interested in burying the hatchet with Lum and having everyone here be friends again~? What's that, you already said so much in a previous post~? I knew you'd come through.

woolie O_o Are you being serious about the Kangaroo stuff? Dead serious. And the explorer's name was Joseph, so when he drew a picture of a baby Kangaroo, signed it "Joey" and sent it back home to Europe, can you guess what the Europeans thought was the Proper name for a baby Kangaroo? You guessed it. A Joey. That's why they call them Kangarros and Joeys, ladies and gentlemen of the JGG.

You guessed it. A Joey. That's why they call them Kangarros and Joeys, ladies and gentlemen of the JGG. And I call your bluff! The kangaroo IS NOT named after an aboriginal Australian word for "I don't understand you". That popular urban legend gained fame in the 1950s but was disproved in the 1970s by linguist John B. Haviland in his research with the Guugu Yimidhirr people. They were the tribe Captain James Cook and naturalist Sir Joseph Banks encountered on the trip to Australian. When they asked what the animals were called, the natives replied: "gangurru" which literally means "grey kangaroo". Kangaroo does not mean "I don't understand you" or any varient in any native Australian tongue. What you said about Joeys may or may not be true. I'll look into it.

LordNeuf Divash Good, glad the feud's over so we can all go back to talking about food. wink What's a good use for buttermilk? 1. Cornbread. 2. Pancakes. 3. Blueberry-buttermilk cold summer soup. 4. Ice cream -- yes, I'm serious -- use buttermilk instead of whole milk (plus the cream you'd usually use), then add a streak of caramel at the final mixing stage. 5. Gentle healing of sunburns when added to a bath. 6. Biscuits. 7. For those who don't keep kosher, it's a good dip for chicken, before breading and frying. 8. Almost anything you can bake with milk is even better when baked with buttermilk. Mmmm, now I need to bake.
