Interesting Random Facts--Orange: Fruit or Color
I got into an interesting discussion at work the other day as to the word "orange".  Why do we call an orange an orange?  Was the fruit named after the color, or was the color named after the fruit?

According to Wikipedia, the name of the fruit first appeared in the English language, and then the color was named after the fruit.
