[kj] Blog entry at that new MySpace page of the KJ

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

No, I meant any thoughts on the etymology of the word "hummus." I was 
replying to comments that "humus  is a root word that means soil," but 
also, "homo." So why do we have a snick dip that could translate to 
"soil"? Or.. "human"? Soylent green is made of people??? Not appetizing, 
to ip one's pita bread in soil.
