Is it true that the turnip was used in heraldry by Leonhard von Keutschach, prince-archbishop of Salzburg?

TGS · 10-25-2010, 05:09 AM

Did you mean this?

GeoffC · 10-25-2010, 05:11 AM

Is that a neep?

TGS · 10-25-2010, 05:13 AM

Aren't neeps the orange things that I call turnips but most people call swedes, reserving the name turnip for the white things?

GeoffC · 10-25-2010, 05:15 AM

are neeps always orange, even when not partaken with the haggis?

TGS · 10-25-2010, 06:14 AM

Aren't they the same things we made lanterns out of at Halloween before pumpkins were invented?

GeoffC · 10-25-2010, 07:42 AM

Did we make lanterns that long ago?

TGS · 10-25-2010, 08:53 AM

Did you not make lanterns for bommy neet on Nov 5th?

GeoffC · 10-25-2010, 10:40 AM

I didn't, did you?

TGS · 10-25-2010, 11:03 AM

I did, and did you not make them out of turnips, (or swedes as the posh people call them)?

GeoffC · 10-26-2010, 07:03 AM

We had no nips nor swede to make such things from, unless it's so long ago I no longer remember the 5th of November.

Turnip mischief?

Things we shouldn't, really, talk about anymore. Mischief with a capital M....

Time for another riddle instead then. Schwarzenegger has a big one, Michael J Fox has a small one, Madonna doesn't have one, the Pope doesn't use his, and Clinton uses his all the time. What is it?
