  Re: Kaadu = Hindi 'pumpkin'?
 
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... (25 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.pun)

Hey Shiri, are you familiar now with kaddu, I mean pumpkin pie? Maybe that new bulk pack is a "Build a Kaadu Bulk Pack", no? -Erik trying to find "pumpkin" in other languages too... (25 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.pun)

  Kaadu = Hindi 'pumpkin'

Kaadus are orange, aren't they? Pumpkin riders defeating a (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.pun)
