    French fries are called that because they're created from potatoes via frenching, which basically means cutting into strips before cooking. Really has nothing to do with France.

    I pay no attention to the rules of spelling or grammar you can tell just by looking at my posts.

    Guinea pigs are called that because Guinea is a term for small and it looks like a pig because of it's ears. so a small pig.

    Just call it a Giant hamster for smurf sake.

    inglish iz teh hard.

    And on another note - COPYRIGHT, man. Don't be a plagiarist, or however that word is spelt. Crazy English language, nothing ever makes sense. Why can't a word be written the way it sounds?

    The rightful owner of this Ciddie can kiss my arse! :P
