So, i bought a bag of clementines today at Marks & Sparks, and i get to the end of the bag and the last clementine i peel has, inside it, an almost wholly formed zygomorphic twin, including a fairly comprehensive peel. it was quite an interesting sight. ... nothing else to say really. i just thought it was neat is all.
And here's me thinking M & S weren't supporting Genetic Modification experiments. It would be good idea if they could cross a turkey with a rabbit though. It would mean a family of four could have a leg each at Christmas.
You inspired me to go out and get me some clementines of my own. Thank you Garner, they're delicious.
Zygomorphia. Though I have to admit that in "German" (it not being really German, either), it probably only has a different ending... Well, new word, then. And clementines would be "Klementine" (sing.) or "Klementinen" (plur.). So.
Funnily enough, in Dutch they´re called "mandarijntjes"*. Although there is a brand/variant of mandarijntjes that is called "Clementines" * Presumably something to do with the chinese "Mandarin". Don´t know exactly though. edit: looked it up. The Dutch were introduced to clementines by the Chinese.
Mandarines, Clementines and Tangerines. Different thingys. Vary... variat... whatever. **blows her nose loudly and coughs**
Not in Dutch. Mandarijn (Mandarines) is the name of the species. Clementines are a variation of Mandarines. In Dutch anyway. edit: Spling
