Trivia Pur$uit

A 17th-century Swedish palaeontologist claimed that in the Garden of Eden, God spoke Swedish, Adam spoke Danish and the serpent spoke French.

And Eve spoke...?

Good one, Deborah,

I wondered who would be the first to point out the glaring omission. Gold medal goes to you.

Apparently, the palaeontologist didn't rate Eve. Or, as we know, being a woman she was erudite enough to speak all language and be understood by everyone.

How does that sound to you?
