Thanks to my coconut guru friend Colin, I have learned much and it's time I pass the knowledge on to the the thousands of you who read my blog.
Botanically speaking, a coconut is a simple dry fruit known as a fibrous drupe (not a nut).The husk (mesocarp) is fibrous and there is an inner "stone" (the endocarp). This hard endocarp has three germination pores that are clearly visible on the outside surface once the husk is removed. It is through one of these that the radicle emerges when the embryo germinates. When viewed on end, the endocarp and germination pores resemble the face of a monkey, the Portuguese word for which is coco. And coconut water can be used as intravenous hydration since it is so similair to blood plasma.
On a side note: botanically a tomato is a fruit, however for import taxes it is considered a vegetable, as decided by the supreme court in 1893.
Therefore, we are starting a petition to give tomatoes everywhere the recognition of fruit status that it so rightly deserves. Please lend me your signature.

I got a lot closer to my fellow co-mangers today, especially since half of them had their hands all over me! (knot game) And ya know for people who don't like to rip apart animals, they are pretty cool.

Well here's my lame excuse for not writting. I'm taking 16 credits of school, like 14 hours of work, not to mention the 'homework' from work, and still maintaining somewhat of a social life. But I should write in here more.

I think I have the flu. Life sucks.

Ok so here's the little things that have made life a little sweeter recently: Gigantic pizzia slices and tiny theaters, the perfect lunch, Halloween is coming soon, and a B on an essay that I wrote the night before it was due. :)
