If you don’t space your seed potatoes far enough apart (white or sweet) they will graft their flesh together under the soil. What she’s got is easy to make. I had sweet potatoes the size of elongated basketballs one summer when I was lazy and just planted them six inches apart. Harder soils also helps ball them up into one giant.

Looks like some sort of baked knobby bread thing my g’ma used to make, kinda.

[Alas Babylon!]

Wait.

Stan’s father made that?

I thought the worlds biggest crap was Bono from U2?

I found a couple of big ones in my garden years ago. When cut open, there was a hollow space inside.

And I say “Pot-ah-toes”. with an “e”.

Did they test for Biden DNA? ;)

Pelosi should have a committee for this. Perhaps get the FBI involved.

Finding out if it’s a cistater?

Maybe it’s really a squash that identifies as a patient?

From one potato head to another.

Finding out if it’s a cistater?

Maybe it’s really a squash that identifies as a POTATO?

TOO MUCH TIME ON SCIENTISTS' HANDS ?

What we have is one oversize spud
That grew from a wee little bud
While the world all around us is falling
Eminent scientists are en-thralling
Over whether or not this po-ta-ter's a dud !

I think that was a monster on Star Trek!

DNA? pshaw! I say bring in an expert.

That isn’t a single potato but a potato mass. For some reason all the potatoes on that plant grew together into a single mass. I’ve seen it before but not nearly that big.

Who knew a lowly “alleged” potato could inspire poetry?

Well done!!!!!
