Misguided people attack participation trophies. I think back on all the youth trophies I got and that time I sold them all to some kid at a yard sale. Worth it just to see that kid smile while reinforcing the way capitalism devalues our accomplishments.

that is a reasonably reasonable reason Quarl, I thought that apples grew anywhere. Anyway, I think the apple is just a mistranslation from a Latin word "malus", which means apple. And since it has the three letters "mal" in it people may associate the apple with the forbidden fruit of God's Garden.
Maybe. That or the garden of eden was located in asia. Tis the origins of the apple tree. Of course, considering that there's a good 4 billion people living on that one continent, surely someone would have found the garden by now :P
Also, if'n your using wikipedia as a source, then I just got to the part where the whole mal/malus thing is discussed. I swear, the internet fucking rox.
what happened to your vajayjay
Got sand in it. Decided I'd get a new one. I'm still waiting for the new one to cum in the mail.

do you ever wonder what apple god forbid in the garden?
Was it a Pacific Rose or Honeycrisp?
A Golden Delicious or Granny Smith?
A Cripps Pink or Royal Gala?
A Jazz Scifresh or Red Delicious?
A FujiCrisp or JonaGold?
The world will never know....
But apparently, eating apples is worse than sex -_-

Actually it couldn't have been an apple. The apple tree isn't native in the fertile crescent/ middle east region. Also consider the effects of the fruit. I've never ate an apple that gave me an epiphany. Truly, whatever fruit that the tree held is now lost with the Garden of Eden. Sorry to ruin your fun :(
