This moronic typist human says that she'll let me watch Hello Kitty if I do this making a post such as this is bound to cause insanity and since that is my job, I suppose I'm forced to agree to it. Thus, I pose you this question:

Which came first, the fruit or the colour orange?

Edit: By which I actually mean the colour orange, morons. Not the

Credit where due, the fruit in question is the colour of which the word 'orange' is used to describe.

[namomandos]

I hardly see where the stand-off between the word and the fruit is, the fruit was invented a long time before the word 'orange' was and has likely had numerous names between it's creation and it's being called an orange.

Now if we go back to the original question, Which came first, the fruit or the colour orange? then we do have an interesting puzzle that is frankly akin to the whole chicken and egg debate.

[namomandos]

Both. Yavanna made 'em.

As for the word 'orange', blame humans, they invented it.

see, now, that's what i would've done. if i were there. which i don't suppose i could've, could i?

[namomandos]

Probably not.

[permanent_blur]

well, i suppose that's just as well. it's confusing enough just being where i am, i don't know how i'd go about being where i wasn't -- or when i wasn't, for that matter --! and the beginning of a time seems like a long way away ...

The fruit, of course.

Does it matter? Will it help me stay alive? Anyway, Milo made me sleep on tarmac whilst he kept oranges from Egypt in the plane, so I've had enough of oranges.

I'm guessing fruit.
