    That's freakin' beautiful. I'm hoping to go to Israel next summer and turn that into a nice European exploration trip on my own - Greece is on my hit list, after that picture, the island of Santorini will be a specific destination!

    Hummus----is this one of the new songs, or a past rare song? What's it about? can anyone post the lyrics? and ...for the final touch...how does its title, Hummus, relate to the song?

    Lyrics:

    music: ta da da dadadada

    Vocals: Hummus!





    That's it!

    depends how its cooked. (no sarcasm intended.) It's really tough to make. I always wondered why PJ wrote a song about it. One Hummus fan in the band I suppose... ;)

    Hummus always reminds me of the movie "So I Married an Ax Murder."

    And of course the outro to the greatest Pearl Jam album. :mrgreen:

    Bruno: Why are you so anti-Hamas? I mean, isn't pita bread the real enemy?
    Yossi Alpher (ex-Mossad chief): You're confusing Hamas with hummus, I believe.
    Ghassan Khatib (former Palestinian Minister): Do you think there is a relation between Hamas and hummus?
    Bruno: Was the founder of Hamas a chef? He had created the food and then got lots of followers.
    Alpher: Hummus has nothing to do with Hamas. It's a food, OK. We eat it. They eat it.
    Khatib: It's vegetarian. It's healthy. It's beans.

    It can make you rather windy. Always eat last thing at night and sleep alone.
