Now an aardvark, that's another story, whats the deal with those dudes, and why do they need two a's in their name anyway?




It (Aard) is an Afrikaaner word meaning 'Earth'...i.e., a potato is an aardappel ('apple of the earth', just like the French version 'pomme d'terre'). I could look up what 'vark' means but I can't be bothered.

Holly's dad could probably give you a lot more detail...
