15. Dude, why don't you answer your "fruit" thread?

We're getting impatient, and besides, you never posted what your favorite fruit is!

:o Yeah, uh-huh, that's right!

16. And, what the hell is a

touch hole?:shrug:

[mcscajun]

22. A touch hole is a small opening in an old musket or cannon

where the charge is ignited. In older small arms (muzzleloaders) the flash from the priming in the flash pan ignites the charge. In old cannons, a fuse or "slow-match" (a smoldering piece of cordage) would be inserted into the touch hole to fire the cannon.

The term can be used figuratively, as well, in the case of firing up a group or a cause.

18. I don't know.

I've seen WOJ references here for weeks and have never understood it.

[Catchawave]

19. I was out of town for awhile.....

...does it have something to do with the Team DU FOlding thread ? :shrug:

[mcscajun]

23. Don't think so, but since you mentioned it...

21. Some might say it's a usage like "Window of Opportunity" but...

as I don't know what sundog's intent or meaning was in his original thread

I did a little looking and found this:

The first heaven to which Moses ascended corresponds to the first day of the week; there he saw the waters standing in lines. This heaven was full of windows, and at each window stood an angel. And Moses asked Metatron: "What are these windows?" and Metatron answered: "These windows are the window of prayer, the window of request, the window of supplication, the window of crying (tears), the window of joy, the window of satiation, the window of famine, the window of poverty, the window of riches, the window of war, the window of peace, the window of pregnancy, the window of birth, the window of the treasures of rain, the window of dew, the window of sin, the window of repentance, the window of smallness, the window of greatness, the window of death, the window of life, the window of disease among men, the window of disease among animals, the window of healing, the window of sickness, the window of health." And Moses saw great things past finding out, "yea marvellous things without number" (Job ix. 10).
