More From D. H. Lawrence

So where does the name adam's apple come from? most people say that it is from the notion that this bump was caused by the forbidden fruit getting stuck in the throat of adam in the garden of eden. there is a problem with this theory because some hebrew scholars believe that the forbidden fruit was the pomegranate. the koran claims that the forbidden fruit was a banana. so take your pick---adam's apple, adam's pomegranate, adam's banana. eve clearly chewed before swallowing.

The gods were bored and so they created man. adam was bored because he was alone, so eve was created. thus boredom entered the world, and increased in proportion to the increase in population. adam was bored alone, then adam and eve were bored together; them adam and eve and cain and abel were bored en famille; then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse.

Adam and eve - and especially eve - are victims of the greatest character assassination the world has ever known. eve is not secondary. eve, if anything, is the great initiator in the story. she's the first independent woman. for me, rediscovering that eve was the greatest bad**s women of all time was a revelation.

I've learned a lot about women. i think i've learned exactly how the fall of man occured in the garden of eden. adam and eve were in the garden of eden, and adam said one day, wow, eve, here we are, at one with nature, at one with god, we'll never age, we'll never die, and all our dreams come true the instant that we have them. and eve said, yeah... it's just not enough is it?

My name is adam. my father's name is adam. having the same name as your father, it's alright until your voice changes. my friends would always call up, 'is adam there?' my father would say, 'this is adam.' my friends would say, 'adam, you were so wasted last night.'

Boys and girls were both created with given attributes, and given the freedom to act and react. but adam was allowed to name all the animals, and eve was made from adam's rib, as a companion for him. no wonder she ate the apple, she was rebelling against a world where everything was stacked against her. she was just a prop to make adam happy.

The truth is, when girls are mean to you or make fun of you, it's because there's something wrong with them.

I think there's so much that's not said about sex in the united states. even from an educational level. and i do a lot of work on human trafficking and i connect a lot with girls that come up and end up in this trade and partially because of a lack of education about sex in the country.
