Every pomegranate has exactly 840 seeds

[Don Vito Corleone]

I just found out that every pomegranate has exactly 840 seeds, which I find just amazing. I can't think of anything else in nature that is this consistent and specific. What other things in nature are this precise?

EDIT: Apparently this is not true. Ah well - it sounded good.

NO, just like fingerprints are not all unique. Its a myth

No they don't... and I suspect if you look at enough pomegranates you'll find some with more and less than 840 seeds.

A good friend of mine was born with 7 fingers (that includes thumbs).

He's a great guitar player and he'll probably kick your ass in basketball, too!
