Trivial Pursuits

Martin has an infinity for useless information. So he was on a hunt for some new useless info to fill his pretty lil head with, and also to share, so a googling he did go. I don’t know, is there websites just for useless info? Apparently there is.

So he was looking up on how the word “gun” started being used for weapons. See? Useless information. Not sure why he found the origin of the word gun fascinating enough to look up, but he did. As he starts his hunt, he hears Andrew telling him, “I know Daddy!” Martin said, “oh yea? Tell me then,” half believing him but still googling the info. Andrew continues, “It comes from the African Goddess of war, Gun.” So as Martin goes to ask him “really?” He feels Andrew’s energy disappear which is the equivalent to him running away & hiding! LMAO As I have mentioned before, Andrew would answer questions we’d ask him with such authority when he was here, like he really knew the answer and he’d be totally making it up! Right down to asking him the time. We’d always LOAO when he’d do it because he sounded so confident he knew the answer.

Martin knew Andrew was pulling one of his stunts when he pulled the disappearing act. Much to Martin’s surprise, Andrew was actually correct about one thing, there really is a “Gun,” African Goddess of War, pretty impressive I have to say, but that is not where the use of the word gun came from. I googled it and found this, “This word for a firearm most likely comes from a Scandinavian woman’s name.” “It it has been suggested by Professor W. W. Skeat that it conceals a female name, Gunnilde or Gunhilda.”

It’s weird that Andrew actually had some info right. Usually he’d make the answer ALL up! LOL It’s good to see our Muck still up to his old tricks!

IT'S ALL GOOD!
