Hot dog is a marketing gimmick during either world war 2 or world war 1. I believe it is 2. Germany was our enemy and anything with german names were fround upon. Frankfurters were the name of the sausage used in Hot dogs. Its also called weiners. Frankfurters refer to the city of Frankfort Germany. weiner refers to the City Vienna Austria. For some reason sausages were named after a city (allegedly) that it was invented. Someone started calling them hot dogs to avoid references to its German origin.
Egg plants actually has a logic to it. Eggplants come in many shapes and sizes. One of the furst eggplants found by westerners, were the same shape and size of an egg and it was white. Other types of eggplants were bred or discovered and the egg shaped eggplant was pretty much ignored by Europeans. The Thai still use the egg shape Eggplants, as well as many others.

I am neither an Atheist, an Agnostic, nor a Theist and although I quasi-believe your statement concerning logic and religion, I totally disagree along with your total statement. First, I was raised as a Fundamentalist, Conservative, Free-Will Baptist by my mother (my dad tends to be more Calvinist-even though Baptist as good), and for me, it was my desire to be a "higher Christian" that I sat down and clearly read THE BIBLE! - but that is without a doubt what drove me faraway from it! I used to be taught that I needed to take it as "inspired," literally authentic and all that yadda yadda, and so forth... However oh, the inconsistencies, the contradictions, the evil of the deity himself, etc... I knew that I had been misled! Science explains the workings of the fabric world... Simply as you mentioned that "good judgment has no place in religion" - faith has no place in common sense!!! You would not let a CPA perform brain surgery on you can you??? So why enable a theologian to tell you about geology, biology, mathematics, physics, etc???!!!??? The oldest publication of the Bible is Job which is said to were written someplace between Solomon and the Babylonian Captivity (as a result some distance it's still tough to nail down a date) <950-597 BCE>. The Bible, as is legendary in these days, is virtually the work of EZRA THE SCRIBE (see links under)... Present day SCIENCE originated with Thales of Miletus (624 –ca. 546 BCE), but without a doubt has roots a lot further again. And, at the same time the persons of Judea and the Biblical editors were believing in a flat, three-layer cake earth, the Greek geographer/astronomer Eratosthenes (276 -194 BCE), measured the circumference of the earth within 1-2% measure of error!!! Charles Darwin used to be about to go to seminary before his famed trip to the Galapagos Islands!!! The next time you get unwell and have to go to the pharmacy, health care provider, or hospital - keep in mind all that SCIENCE that's used to make you better - might be even store your existence!!! HA!!! - with no end in sight!!!
