Odd.  Are those real fruit?

Yep. It's old news. There's a video here:

They are somehow square. Did anybody else notice this?

Interesting.  According to the article,
Quote
But cubic fruit comes with a caveat: Each square watermelon costs 10,000 yen, the equivalent of about $82. Regular watermelons in Japan cost from $15 to $25 each.

Wow.  Time to switch careers and go into the import/export business.

Dehydrate the melons to make shipping cheap, then reconstitute them in Japan. :)

Most things cost more in Japan, especially fruit for some reason (probably import tax, they like to keep things 'made in Japan'). I have a friend in Tokyo who treats himself to a $5 banana once in a while.

It is recommend we eat three square meals a day. I want to see them do that with a cow.

Japan has terrible land for growing things, and they don't even have very much of that.

I'm happy to live in the land where a regularly shaped watermelon cost about $3.

It was me. It was going to be a lame attempt at humor. I'm HAWKXP, except the 9x (older) version. If you check the email, it's my hotmail account.

After second thought, it's not really that funny. I was going to use this as my avatar:

I'm willing to chalk up the hostility in HI ALL to a combination of:

A) Miscommunication that's inherent in a text-only medium.

and

B) The fact that a newcomer would have no way of knowing that most of the poo-slinging here is entirely good natured. We are[/i] pretty ruthless to each other after all.

So I'll be the dove of peace or at least the pigeon of forgiveness and suggest that we let Hawk start fresh.  I did promise to try and be nicer to newbs recently.

Yes, lads is much more acceptible.

Maybe 'chaps' should be added to the auto censor so it will be replaced with lads.

re: square watermelons, I actually think that's a great idea, but for a different reason. I've tried a few times to grow watermelons, but deer or something always eat them before they get very big. Next time I'm building a plexiglass box to put them in to protect them from the varmits.

There is a phrase: "It's best to say nothing, and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

you should learn your self that phrase ;D :o
