Haggis expands upon examination, doesn't it? I am finding such wealth of information about the Haggis that I could instantly start an investment bulletin board, "The Haggis Investor", if I could determine the least relevance of this topic to my stocks. Further R&D among Net investment sites give us alternate theories. Most intriguing is the theory that haggis is an ancient Incan ritual from the mountains of Bolivia, brought back to Scotland by the wondrous Sir Walter Raleigh. One of the stronger tenets of this theory is that utter absence of horse flesh points to its origin in the pre-historic horseless Americas. In this case the proper plural noun is "haggis", since the sense of plurals in Incan spoken language has never been documented. A strong secondary case is made from the Judaic/Moslem 7th-9th century era of the beginnings of medical science. Entymology of the word Ha-GIS: 1) 'Ha' is the Hebrew prefix meaning "the". 2) 'GIS' has been carried forth to the present time by the medical profession, meaning "Gastro-Intestinal Series". One can immediately see the analogy. This theory holds that the first haggis dates from medical studies of the 7th century trying to decipher the mysteries of human digestion. Religious law prohibited the use of the human intestine for this study, so a bovine intestine was substituted and filled with the traditional contests. Thus it was first confirmed that extracorporeal digestion does not exist. The final evidence for this origin of 'haggis' derives from the dietary restrictions in both Jewish and Moslem religious law against the eating of pork. Thus pork has been excluded, to this day, from the contents of the true 'haggis'. If you accept this version of history, the proper plural of the word 'haggis' is 'haggim'. Is this why SI can not be fixed before the end of time?
