    Testimony
    Hello:

    Ain't Public TV great?? You never know what you might learn. Do you know where the term "testify" comes from?? I didn't either.

    In order to be believed in court, an ancient Athenian had to be holding the warm and dripping testicles of a goat he just sacrificed

    Isn't that something?

    C'mon, I do that all the time.
    Word/expression origins are fun to learn, and shocking at times.
