Square Watermelons!
« on: June 15, 2001, 07:50:04 PM »
Have you heard about the square watermelons in Japan!  It\'s true!  They grow them in glass boxes to take a square shape.  They cost $85!!!!

Remeber that Simpsons episode when the family went to Tokyo?  They were joking about it then, but now it\'s true!

Agricultural science always finds a way to amaze me.

hahahha, I actually thought it\'d be a topic about square watermelons... or one of those random though threads that had a weird title

bah, anyhoo, square watermelons sound pretty cool.... it\'d stop them rolling anywhere... that\'s gotta be an upside right??
I got nothing

EDIT: Here\'s the pic of one from ABC news or something, some news site that had the story. Looks cool

Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.

Call me zany, but my first thought, like Gradman, was "Cool, a topic about square watermelons."

Of course, it may have something to do with the fact I\'ve heard about these beforehand. :)

Growing square watermelons is cool and all, but I want a true seedless watermelon. Every *so-called* seedless melon I ever buy from the grocer always has seeds, damn it! Sure, they\'re little puny nothing seeds, but that just makes\'em
harder to sift out. :boom:

Is is so much to ask, really? :laughing:

Frodo

{stock boy}: Ugh, can I help you sir?
{Frodo}: Yeah, you got\'s some of them there square watermelons I\'ve been hearin\' about?
{stock boy}: Umm, Square watermelons, sir?
{Frodo}: Yeah, you daft, boy? Square watermelons!
{Stock boy}: Ugh, I\'ll go check . . .
{Frodo}: Yeah, I though so. Hey, make sure it\'s the seedless variety!

Does anyone else notice that\'s not a square but a cube???
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
