I just found in a Hindi/Urdu phrasebook that the word for pumpkin is kaddu. It
doesn't sound quite like kaa-doo with a long a, but it makes me wonder if Lucas
is having a joke. Kaadus are orange, aren't they?

| Footnote: My Hindi-speaking friends tell me that kaddu is used as a derogatory term like 'dummy'. Just think of it: "You pumpkin-for-brains! You stinky hollow gourd with seeds rattling inside!" And in America it is a cute term for chubby babies... (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.pun)
