I don't exactly trust the authenticity, esp. after seeing that bambi is not only a first name, but a film "faun". But that's neither here nor there. I was curious about the following entry:
basel - a Swiss city; tanned skin; basil .
Wsieber, do you happen to know if that city was named for the herb? Or perhaps they grow a lot of it there?
