KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - An Afghan court on Sunday dismissed a case against a man who converted from Islam to Christianity because of a lack of evidence, and he will be released soon, an official said.
Puce? Is that Italian? I'll have to find out.Peregrinator said:New black makes me want to puce.
It is good to see them come around. It would be better to see them not even have the law.Peregrinator said:Did you see this?

Sounds like a sexy new Italian car.
Puce
One of the more obscure colors used in Regency novels is puce. It's a color nearly always treated with disdain but what color was it, really? It might help to know that the word puce comes, as so many others, from the French. Puce is the French word for flea! Yes, the color is a brownish-purple or a purplish-pink, the color of the blood-sucking flea; coagulated blood in other words. It may seem astonishing to the modern reader that one of the most popular colors in 1805e. was just puce!
I don't think so. Neither of them are enamored of puce and they won't be the least bit upset to learn that it hasn't replaced either pink or fascism as the new black. You start talking about chartreuse or coral though and you'll get them going.SeanH said:BB and Ish are going to be sooo pissed off about this.

LOL. How about my job application, you? I can pretend to be as stupid as GWB if it would help.Lavared said:I don't think so.

The reason for its popularity was because many people suffered from fleas but didn't want others to know about it, and puce clothing served to hide the fact.J.B. said:color puce:

If you can manage an English accent (always impressive in pseudo science on this side of the pond) and don't know your way around a lab and can either pretend to be or genuinely be stupid I have a place for you on my team.SeanH said:LOL.

You'll be working directly under me. (you lucky, lucky man)
Better re-read the small print on the Union contract. It firmly states that I hold the top position and that I direct your actions.SeanH said:Hmm. I'm more of a top.
