Does Priuschat need a pruity test?

[SPEEDEAMON]

I'm getting confused again. Is Pruity Test a test for prune pies?
I don't think I ever had one but it may be good for constipation.

I thought it was an age test - how closely we resemble a prune.

That's okay, Hyo. As a Canadian, you are free to like whatever kind of pie you please. While "America" can refer to the continent, I was using it as a short form of U.S. of America.

Thanks, but no thanks. None of these high-falutin' snob pies for me. I like my apple pie the regular way. The sort that anybody's grandma used to make. The American way. And while I like pecans just fine, I don't want them in my pie. In fact, I don't like nuts IN anything. Well, anything other than a bowl. Nuts in a bowl are good. Nuts in pies, brownies, cereal, granola, ice cream, forget it! Nuts are best all by themselves. When is the whole LESS than the sum of it's parts? Walnuts in brownies. Brownies are delicious. Walnuts are delicious. Mix them together and you ruin both!

Oh, I forgot all about Pecan pie. Pecan pie is the one thing that would make me not have pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. Now, if it's pecan pie or sweet potato pie, I usually compromise and have one of each.

I don't care what body parts are being compared to prunes - I don't want to judge that contest, either. Bra or not.

Timing is everything:

February was named after the Latin term februum, which means
purification, via the purification ritual Februa held on February 15 (full
moon) in the old lunar Roman calendar. January and February were the
last two months to be added to the Roman calendar, since the Romans
originally considered winter a monthless period. They were added by
Numa Pompilius about 713 BC…

Februa, also Februatio, was the Roman festival of ritual purification,
later incorporated into Lupercalia. The festival, which is basically one
of Spring washing or cleaning (associated also with the raininess of
this time of year) is old, and possibly of Sabine origin. According to
Ovid, Februare as a Latin word which refers to means of purification
(particularly with washing or water) derives from an earlier Etruscan
word referring to purging.

The Roman month Februarius ("of Februa," whence the English
February) is named for the Februa/Februatio festival, which occurred on
the 13th to 15th days of this Roman month. A later Roman god Februus
personified both the month and also purification, and is named for
them. Thus, the month is named for the festival and not for the god.

Some sources connect the Latin word for fever (febris) with the same
idea of purification or purging, due to the sweating commonly seen in
association with fevers...

Historical names for February include the Old English terms Solmonath
(mud month) and Kale-monath (named for cabbage) as well as
Charlemagne's designation Hornung. In Finnish, the month is called
helmikuu, meaning "month of the pearl"; when snow melts on tree
branches, it forms droplets, and as these freeze again, they are like
pearls of ice. In Polish and Ukrainian, respectively, the month is called
luty or лютий, meaning the month of ice or hard frost.
