In a story about Nanase Craft, we pause for suggestive poses and a rehash of Dan's comments by Mall Elliot.

Apples?  That is all it takes to get Elliot to do ridiculous things?

I seem to recall another story where a certain woman wanted to eat an apple...

Well, those are not THAT MUCH ridiculous things ... and Elliot is young and is not aware he can get thousands dollars for posing like this (not speaking about how much he can earn for, say, swimsuit modelling ; also, where else can they find model able to match the size of clothes? Ok, Grace, but she's not into modelling either).

While commonly depicted as apple, the Forbidden fruit could just as easily be grape, pomegranate, fig, carob, etrog, citron, pear, mushrooms or some metaphor for something entirely else. Or, like, actual fruit of knowledge, which would be something noone saw since then ; I mean, I don't get sudden burst of knowledge when eating apple, and while some mushrooms may have effects like that, it still seems weak compared to the forbidden fruit ...

I heard that the depiction of the Forbidden Fruit as an apple is an artifact of the classical Latin tendency of referring to most fruits with white flesh as "malus", which we translate as "apple" to English. This tendency is seen in a number of Romance languages as well--for example, in French, potatoes are "pomme de terre", which translates literally as "apples of the earth/soil".
