Although there are a lot of funny things about this thread, the threat of falling coconuts is not a joke.

One almost killed ME on my honeymoon in Fiji back in 1990. I stopped and plopped down on a stretch of grass next to the resort hotel to enjoy another bottle of Fiji Bitter (good beer, btw), and after a few moments of relaxation was shocked by a loud THUD about two feet to the left of my head. Coconut.

Picked that sucker up. Must have weighed five pounds at least. Left an imprint in the soft soil and grass about three inches deep. Looked up at the tree and saw there were several other nuts hanging from the sucker.

Man... I MOVED!!!!
