I don't want to kill the thread so go for it!K3 said:Is looking the answer up online considered cheating?
Sorry about that all, kept looking back but got no reply for a while and then life got in the way...
Having a dad who is 'ex-Krishna' certainly helped with the answer, as I knew most of it, and was quite enlightening.
Alrighty.. here's my shot
Does the Australian, English or Kiwi yard glass hold the most beer? And for a bonus point, how much is it (approximately)?

Ha ha ha ha... my humblest apologies Djevv! I think I should go back to the footy side of things and post about how I know everything about anything footy... :hihi
The definition I have for it is two-fold being a. A reference for the diety Krishna and b. it comes from a Sanskrit word, that is something like Juggernath/ Jugganath, that means Lord of the world.
Okay, time for my PSD and Rookie draft wishes...

Don't forget the cart! Krishna/Jaganath(Juggernaut) had this huge cart (weighing tonnes) with his idols on it which gets rolled out once per year. It frequently got out of control and crushed worshippers under its wheels, which is how we derive the modern meaning.
Found all this out while reading 'Jane Eyre' written in the 1830s which had various anachronisms explained in the back. Thought this one was interesting enough to post.
Anyway, carry on......
And while I'm not sure that it still happens... it wasn't long ago that during the relevant festival the devotees would bring out 'the cart' and people would throw themselves under the wheels. Think the TAC would have something to say about that! Maybe Collingwood could do up a promotional ad to air in India staring Didak and Shaw? ;DDjevv said:
