Watermelon

is a veggie

It's a fruit 'cos it's seeds are on the inside.

If it's a vegetable, it is the seed.

Is this really important to know?

Should any one care...... Watermelon facts:-

The first recorded watermelon harvest occurred nearly 5,000 years ago in Egypt.

Over 1,200 varieties of watermelons are grown worldwide in 96 countries.

In some Mediterranean countries, the taste of watermelon is paired with the salty taste of feta cheese.

Watermelon is 92% water.

Watermelon's official name is Citrullus Lanatus of the botanical family Curcurbitaceae. It is cousins to cucumbers, pumpkins and squash.

Early explorers used watermelons as canteens.

In 1990, Bill Carson of Arrington, TN grew the largest watermelon at 262 pounds that is still on the record books (1998 ed. Guinness Book of World Records).

Watermelon has no fat or cholesterol and is an excellent source of vitamins A, B6 and C and contains fiber and potassium.

Yes I am VERY bored

Wikipedia confirms it is a fruit: Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus, Family Cucurbitaceae) is the fruit and plant of a vine-like (climber and trailer) herb originally from southern Africa.

It's been forever since I had a watermelon, I think what ruined them for me was the endless back pain from having to help unload a shipment of them years ago, one by one, and put out on display. :(

I do believe that rockmelons are known at "Cantaloupes" up here. I personally hate those as well.

I've got a lovely bunch of cantalopes, if you have the time

I'll get me coat :p

I have always gone by the outside color when picking out a watermelon and knocking on it to see how hollow it is because apparently more hollow it is more ripe it is, not sure if that's always the case.

Actually, I just like picking up a watermelon and knocking on it in the grocery store while people stare at me.

Along with a good 30% of NOOL members

(many studies report a larger percentage, some as high as 80%, however their evidence was poor, having been drooled upon and often eaten by some of the test subjects)

Watermelon sucks. I'd just as soon have a glass of water.
