Yes, we should've all learned that from GI Joe cartoons from the early 80's. Remember that episode where the green blob was devouring everything in its path? They ended up throwing apples at it until they poisoned it to death. (wow, that's going waaaaaaaaaaay back.)

have you ever seen the gi-joe spoofs. where they dub over the knowing is half the battle stuff. it probably is the funniest thing i have seen ....

"I'm a computer..." LOL...yeah they are hilarious. I wish there were more :)

I've got some friends out here in Chicago that do the same thing. I've grown up eating seafood, so and had never seen that before.

Holey crappers!!! I totally remember that episode!!

So do I, that's the first thing that popped in my head when someone mentioned that the seeds were poisonous.

At university I had a friend who used to eat all of his fried chicken, bone and all......
Said he picked up the habit when travelling in africa for a year.
