From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   penis war
  
      (Or "Dick Size War", "DSW") Any argument which
      has degenerated into quantitative boasting of the sort "My
      [program|bot|etc.] is [faster|meaner|etc.]   than yours!",
      generally as unconstructive (and with as little emphasis on
      empirical proof) as men debating who has the biggest penis.
  
      The term is often used on {IRC}, {news:alt.sysadmin.recovery},
      and sometimes applied to IRC {botwars}, because of their
      equally pointless nature.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Pomegranate
      i.e., "grained apple" (pomum granatum), Heb. rimmon. Common in
      Egypt (Num. 20:5) and Palestine (13:23; Deut. 8:8). The Romans
      called it Punicum malum, i.e., Carthaginian apple, because they
      received it from Carthage. It belongs to the myrtle family of
      trees. The withering of the pomegranate tree is mentioned among
      the judgments of God (Joel 1:12). It is frequently mentioned in
      the Song of Solomon (Cant. 4:3, 13, etc.). The skirt of the high
      priest's blue robe and ephod was adorned with the representation
      of pomegranates, alternating with golden bells (Ex. 28:33,34),
      as also were the "chapiters upon the two pillars" (1 Kings 7:20)
      which "stood before the house."
