Comments on 'Random Ramblings 2'Why do we say the apple of someones eye?
Apples are good but come on now they arent that great to look at! If i am forced to look at a piece of fruit then i think i'd want to look at something more interesting like a... oh i dont know a... pineapple. then again, the word pineapple has the word apple in it too. so maybe i'd look at something like a kamquat! yeah thats it! kamquats seem like a fruit that could occupy a lot of someone's time. Dont you? But i think that comparing someone or something you love, like or admire seems dumb to me? Ah oh well.

They’re delicious. Though if i’ve got to have a fruit jammed in my eye, i suppose i’d go with a raisin. I mean how much damage could it do right? Ah well, awesome ramblings as usual buddy.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/17983?basename=346422008-01-15T07:51:27ZA Jokerhttp://ficlets.com/authors/user_4337Comment on Random Ramblings 2<p>BrebellesMom here, again;<br />I just love your ponderings…..here is the origin:</p>
<p>The first “apple of the eye” was the pupil of the eye which, in ancient times, was thought to be a round object similar to the apple. As recently as Anglo-Saxon times, the same word “aeppel” meant both eye and apple. It goes without saying that the pupil of one’s eye is very precious indeed-and that’s how the expression came to mean something greatly treasured.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/17983?basename=337442008-01-10T22:24:30ZBrebelleshttp://ficlets.com/authors/brebellesComment on Random Ramblings 2<p>Here’s another one.
