+kennamatic Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 As the debate rages on another thread as to whether we should use the term forums or fora I think it is only right we should examine the evidence. SimonG has already used the phrase Fora, fora, fora.. This as many of you may know is a remake of the film Tora Tora Tora. In the original film, a bunch of Japanese Kamikaze pilots attack the US fleet at Pearl Harbour and sink them. In the remake, a bunch of kamikaze trolls attempt to sink the fora by mischievous posting. To balance things there is the well known musical where people sing about their hilarious adventures whilst out caching. A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To These Forums Gilbert and Sullivan however, wrote their operetta HMS Pinafora containing the song I am the very model of a Moderator General. But for me, the conclusive evidence is from the Ernest Hemingway book and subsequent film. Fora, Who The Hell Trolls. Has anyone else further proof to support either word? Finding your caches - Losing my marbles. Quote Link to comment
