An even better thing about broccoli is its phytonutrient profile, which protects against cancer.  Adding that to saving Amiga, it's a true superhero.

The benefits have been known for a long time, as this fully original work (before the neer do well sproutist order had the broccoli painted out)



I found it on the intarwebs so it must be true.

Sorry dudes, Brussels Sprouts rule all!


Sprouts are made of farts and fail.

I bought broccoli over the weekend and put it in the salad tray of my fridge. Bad mistake. Now everything in there is frozen rock solid due to Broccoli's natural tendency to augment the function of anything it touches...

Sprouts are better.
We even have a game called sprouts (and Brussels Sprouts):
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouts_(game)
 
Where is your Brocolli game, eh? :roflmao:
 
EDIT: here is Karlos at Chritmas time:
 
http://www.eyegas.com/attackofthesprouts/

Notice how the game puts an emphasis on how disgusting sprouts are, not about how great they are. Nobody feels that way about broccoli as it's common knowledge, even amongst deniers such as yourself that have joined the true bottom ranks of society that actually like sprouts, that broccoli is, always has been and always will be the true green of greatness and undeserving of such ridicule. It is only your intractable guilt at having soiled yourself with the vile sprout that you feel you are no longer worthy of the great broccoli that leads you to this denial. It's easier to pretend broccoli is not the one true green veg than it is to admit your desperate yearning to return from whence you have fallen.

A sorry state indeed.

Incidentally, the game is quite amusing :)

Sir, with respect, I believe that asparagus is a worthy green and it ranks high in my estimation but I'm not quite sure I can yield to the view that it is quite as excellent as broccoli.

Ha, what poppycock, bilge, fiddle and fuss!
 
Half you scallywags wouldn't know an honest vegetable if it rose up out of the ground and ensconced itself in your lower colon!


And that's how you recognise them, is it? :lol:

That's real sprouts, son.
Not the lovechild of a deranged cauliflower and a piece of broccoli


Erm, technically it's a type of cauliflower. However it's called "Romanesco broccoli", acknowledging the king of vegetables in it's name.

Depends who you ask, it seems the experts can't even agree on it.
 
Off the record, broccoli is better than any sprout.
Publically, however, I must support the sprout since I admire its general lippiness :)


That and it's cigar smoking take-over-the-worldiness ?

I found out why my broccoli wasn't doing well... not enough RAM. So I plugged in an A501, and that fixed it right up. That extra RAM really makes a difference. The broccoli only has a 68000, but I'm looking to get an accelerator.


:roflmao:

Here's the reason the other broccoli failed - damn thing's running Windows. (actually, I believe it's Winbroc 95)



(These are actual pictures of my broccoli.)


Burn it!!!

I like broccoli and I like perogies, but if I found broccoli inside a perogie, I'd probably scream and whip it out the nearest window. (then dive for cover before it exploded... all in slow motion, of course)


This warrants a gratuitous pearoast!



I don't think you could outrun a broccoli explosion of that magnitude...
