I saw this in my mail and i decided since im always having serious discussions lets have fun for a change. So which do you think came first, the fruit- orange, or the colour orange. I think it could be the colour because otherwise we would be calling everything yellow banana ;)

I think the fruit. Because I am sure it existed long before man had a written and spoken language. As well as the fact that it is not called "orange" in every language. The plant and animal life we see today came long before man learned how to communicate.

Has to be the fruit! Logically colors were taken from nature and were then named. Oh yeah I am so right on this one!!! lol :)
