[edit] Title

Can anyone explain the significance of the wacky title? It's a line from Psalm 108 ("Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph") but why is it the title of an autobiography? Flapdragon 03:07, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I wanted to ask just that. Adding to my confusion, I thought MOAB was a type of rain-absorbing asphalt. DirkvdM 09:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
I doubt that has anything to do with it. They didn't have asphalt in ancient Palestine. Aaрон Кинни (t) 16:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wording

I'm not sure I entirely agree with the use of the word 'seduction'. Isn't there anything better we could use? Voici 14:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean this part: "..Oliver Derwent, a prefect who seduces Fry."? Thhis seems okay to me -- the phrase is used by Fry in the book: "It was towards the end of my first year that I was succsessfully seduced and deflowered".
