Easy.

 

The fruit.

 

Oranges are green until they ripen then turn orange.

 

Question to answer is what we’re they called before the first one became ripe.

 

That means the colour came first then

How do records work. I mean seriously how the fuck can you record a song and then transpose it onto to vinyl

[Fridge]

Just now, Sooper-hanz said:

“A typical record player has a type of needle called a stylus that is placed gently on the vinyl record resting in the beginning of one of the grooves. As the vinyl disc steadily rotates the stylus moves through the wavy three dimensional grooves. The stylus is a tiny crystal of sapphire or diamond mounted at the very end of a lightweight metal bar like a needle. As the crystal vibrates in the groove, its microscopic bounces are transmitted down the bar. The stylus fits onto the end of an electromagnetic device called a cartridge, containing a piezoelectric crystal. The metal bar presses against the crystal and each time it moves, it wobbles the crystal slightly, generating an electrical signal. These signals are fed out to the amplifier to make the sounds you hear through your speakers or headphones. Not all record-player cartridges use piezoelectricity to convert sound vibrations to electrical signals. Some have tiny electrical coils and a magnet inside them. When the stylus moves, it pushes the magnet up and down past the coil, generating electrical signals that are fed to the amplifier to create sound through your speakers. “

Cheers min, that clears that right up, might go and record some songs today

Can Stu Francis actually crush a grape with his bare hands or would he require the use of a mallet to execute the deed? ?

Nope.

Unless carrots were already on the go before oranges. Difficult to tell.

Why did they call them oranges then?

[Ohjimmyjimmy]

Before Oranges were invented the colour orange was called yellow-red or just red.

Indeed but how did they know what colour orange was to call the fruit orange?

And how did they know the colour was green before ripening?

Green has been on the go long before orange min.

Next time you're in Aberdeen, give me a shout and I can arrange.

Or pay petrol and I'll deliver.

Cheers for the offer min. The state of my chest I'm probably better taking a week off it though.

Semantics, Moobs min. In other words, it's accepted as being fact, therefore  bona fide knowledge.

However, I am a fan of scepticism, the art of forever challenging what is commonly accepted as fact and knowledge, therefore your question is spot on and entirely valid..

For me it depends on whether or not the Latin word ( naranje(?)) and it’s derivatives referred to the colour or not.Un naranj‘ became ‘ un aranj’ ( as the n was thought to be part of ‘un’) aranj became oranj/ orange.

Something like that.

Bluto would be the man to decipher that.

A crocodile, especially if it was of the Saltwater variety.

Only one winner there.

Carrots weren't originally orange though.

Obviously.. Changed colour once orange came on the go.

[maryhilldon]

So oranges were originally called greens?  Then they ripened and had to be renamed?

Don’t think a Grizzler would go back for more after a chap on the chin fae a Gorilla

Be some ficht. I reckon the grizzly would go fucking radge if a gorilla caught him on the chin. If the grizzler got a hold of him he’d pull his arms clean off. Gorilla be a more skilled pugilist tho. Tough call.

A gorilla is stronger I reckon

Could easy dislocate a grizzly’s shooder then pound its face into a pulp 

A grizzly would rip a gorilla apart with it's massive claws and teeth. Much bigger as well, grizzly would shit his pants.
