I would be curious if they do a study on any toxic substances in them.

Care to take a bite?

Watermelons = Marxist environmentalists.

[moog]

This is just another MSM attempt to assign racism to hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

I agree. The honeydews and the canteloupe are getting discriminated against.

Maybe melonheads, but I REFUSE to believe that all of those watermelons have been tainted in such a way. They may be a little red and seedy inside, but they are still green and sour on the outside.

Not here, watermelons are good eating. Let me rephrase, Sugartown watermelons are good eating. My grandfather used to grow them.

[moog]

Sounds like a new style of grits.

I miss Justin Wilson, he could tell some good stories. You're right too.

After forest fires some dormant seeds germinate. Something similar is probably happening there.

Since most everyone eats watermelon and spit the seeds out randomly, nature probably responds accordingly. The fact that they are widespread would suggest that is what is happening. Some Botanist at a state University could probably solve the mystery.

Dang! Looks like the real thing! There are places on the west coast (Ca) where something resembling watermelons grow spontaneously.

But they never really seem to ripen and taste pretty bland.

We had a fire here. When the grass grew back, it was taller than anything there had been before.

Actually, I think one of Johnny Appleseed's relatives has been hard at work.

Same with those wild sunflowers and daisies. My cow liked them though.

surveyed the watermelon infestation.

It's a preview to bird flu.

So whats in my mustard jar?

[CajunConservative]

They could have had a container full of melons or seed packets that got spilled during the storm. It was very hot afterwards. It wouldn't have taken much to germinate.

I think it would be a cool way to mine stuff myself.

[moog]

It wouldn't have taken much to germinate.

Particularly with all the Nazi-like influence going on.

[txhurl]

I look DEEPLY askance at Thailand shrimp.

Interesting....

These folks must of eaten lots of melons in the past...lots of seeds left in the soil. Maybe?

[billhilly]
