WW - fruity - 5.21.08

May 21, 2008 · 159 Comments

welcome to whatever wednesday.

where WHATEVER is bound to happen.

hope you stick around - it’s always a wild ride. i could barely make out last week’s progression, but it looked like y’all had ton o’ fun without me!

TheNorEaster closed us out last week with the question: what’s the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?

great question! here’s what ask dr. dictionary said: A fruit is actually the sweet, ripened ovary or ovaries of a seed-bearing plant. *we know y’all don’t read these answers* A vegetable, in contrast, is an herbaceous plant cultivated for an edible part (seeds, roots, stems, leaves, bulbs, tubers, or nonsweet fruits). *if you’re reading, say “random!” in the comments* So, to be really nitpicky, a fruit could be a vegetable, but a vegetable could not be a fruit.

ovaries, huh? wow…

now, class, let’s all thank dr. dictionary: “thank you dr. dictionary!”

moving on…

our starter question: is it better to deal with a runny nose by shoving tissue paper into it so it won’t drip, or by wiping/blowing?

the rules: answer the last, leave the next. be sure to hit “refresh” before “submit” because chances are somebody already beat ya to it! or just randomly comment throughout.

go!
