i didnt get it but that's probably because i dont know what uncouth is.
Lol... doh... I had it until i looked at the name again, and then I thought it was Windows 3.1
Uncouth.. is like ill-mannered, unrefined, uncivilized. If you don't know a word, look it up! You'll learn a lot of vocab that way.

But it was a "fruit" that Adam and Eve ate, not necessarily an apple. Good teaser though.
Which is why it says "Some say...". Fortunately there's rather few people who seriously think the tale of Adam and Eve is supposed to be a factual history!
WAT?
No comment on this one!
I thought this was an excellent teaser! Well done!
Thank you for posting; that was a fun and entertaining teaser even though I was stumped and could not come up with the answer.
So Adam and Eve is "History" and Newton's muse/motivation for Theory of Gravity a "fable".LoL I suppose earth being Flat would be Fact as well then ..
But seriously Bill Gates stealing from Apple what was the story behind that? Though sounds like fake hate story cause windows is so way way better than mac ;p
