That is "poetic" justice.

I think the apple comes from late Medieval or early Renaissance European paintings, along with fig leaves. - Jim

Uh Oh, that brings on a whole lot of other questions.

Pomegranates are devilishly hard to eat.

The hardest fruit upon this planet
Is easily the pomegranate.
I'm halfway through the puzzle game
Of guessing how it got its name.
The pome part turns my cowlick hoary,
But the granite is self-explanatory.
