# Wasn't even an apple in the original manuscript
How'd ya like THEM apples?
But in other news, you know the little chip inside electronics that makes them fail just after the warranty expires? They didn't set it properly on one of my HDDs and it failed after 3 years past manufacturing but not 3 years past purchase. So it's still under warranty. Hurrah!

# yay
was it a cumquat or something? I was vaguely aware that it may not have been an apple originally. But, why worry about facts?

# Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge
I bet it was a pineapple. Filthy, perverted fruits, they are.

# In ancient Hebrew from at least one stage
Pomegranate was used for cunt (if you've ever seen a properly ripe pomegranate it has slightly more resemblance than the ones you see in shops, as they split open on the tree), but I don't know if the hebrew's from the same era. (Song of Songs/Song of Solomon - Shir HaShirim, if you're wondering.)

Greek marriage rites included a quince, much like an apple, then again much not. So that was a bit of a love fruit to them.

Though it's just the fruit of the tree of knowledge, a metaphor about the loss of innocence, realising you're naked, having to perform labour to survive and realising you want all the sexy.

Though yes, your fruit = cunt thing is surprisingly close.

# Aw, darn
I woulda loved the idea of someone going "hurhur, fruit cunt" and the pure euphoria when their b3ta dreams are realised. Well, at least as a team we've educated a few more b3tans. Maybe we could nominate it for the next image challenge, High Fructose Fornication.

# Yeah, but that doesn't bring back all your data..
I worked out the other day I have broken 1.5 TB of storage during my life. I have a stack of 7 dead hard drives sat on my shelf. Thinking of turning the platters into coasters or something.

On an external HDD.

# That is far too sensible.
I really am a disaster with hard drives. At one point I got so fed up with losing all my data that I built an indestructible fan cooled external drive enclosure.
Sadly the combination of wooden case and polystyrene cushioning proved to be highly flammable.
