Broccoli does it again!

[mr_a500]

Hate to be a party pooper, but the original post by mr a500 said he used a Broccoli tag then a rubber band off some Broccoli. So, shouldn't we start praising plastic vegetable tags and rubber bands from all types of fruit?!

Without the broccoli, these items wouldn't have been created in the first place. Clever scientists sat back and said, "Damn, we need something to hold this broccoli together - and fast - or we're in for a load of shit." So they put the ebola cure on hold and got to work.

You try fastening a hard drive with a carrot elastic. See how far that gets you.

Football season approaches (USA) . You know what I'm gonna have on my MF veggie tray? That's right MF Broccoli !

So, every time the Pittsburgh Steelers score you have to eat a hand full of Broccoli and chug a beer.

:drink:

A kitty and it's broccoli are not to be parted!

Ohhh little kitty broccoli farts. Some one will pay dearly.

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!!!

Ah, the wonders of broccoli.

I have a hunch that Wayne may be investing his 10k in a broccoli farm..

[Karlos]

Hmm. Currency backed by Broccoli, eh? That can't fail

[Tension]

I wondered why it tasted funny.

So that's how computers add to the greenhouse effect!:)

I don't want to alarm anybody, but something scary has happened... very scary indeed. My broccoli has turned... purple! I'm not joking - this is an actual unaltered picture:



I've heard of a variety of broccoli that is purple, but this is a green broccoli that went purple. I think it has to do with the purple cabbage that surrounds it. Some of my green cabbage went a bit pink too. (the purple cabbage was always purple )

Notice the broccoli piece on the left. It has purple "veins" and purple top. On the right is a relatively non-purpled green broccoli piece from a broccoli plant that was farther away from the purple cabbage:


I ate all these broccoli last night for supper (except a few I kept for Amiga hardware upgrades). If I turn purple, I'll let you know.

From my experience growing other plants, if they go purple it can be a sign of root rot or frostbite. I didn't grow broccoli though.

Hi,

@TheGoose,

Huh!

The only thing Pittsburgh Steeler fans eat is kilbosi, and we know that for a fact, but just think we might be on to something here, a kilbosi, broccoli sandwich with sweet peppers and onions covered in ketchup.

Broccoli periogies anyone,

hey instead of potato pancakes, how about broccoli pancakes.

Will all this go good with beer?

Pittsburgh Stealers, that is how they won their super bowls so their name is good.

You didn't grow any broccoli?! Shocking. Did those sprout people get to you too?

No, it's not frostbite. They started going purple when it was still 20°C. It's not root rot either. This is good, well drained soil (one of the best vegetable growing areas in all of Canada) and it hasn't rained that much. There are broccoli plants in gardens on either side of this one that are completely green.

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)

Beer? Broccoli doesn't go with beer! Are you crazy? You need a fine wine - a cabernet sauvignon (from 2001 or 2005... or at least before the "25 questions from Bill McEwen"). Then you need to light some candles, sit back in a velvet Victorian smoking jacket (doesn't matter if you don't smoke) and make bland witty comments in a pompous British accent. At least that's how I do it.

This warrants a gratuitous pearoast!



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

A much underestimated vegetable...

Hi,

You are right about that, Sir, it is a much underestimated veggy.

Broccoli
Broccoli is a Super Food.

New research suggests that broccoli is especially good for the stomach(1,2).

Broccoli and cancer risk
A compound found in broccoli and broccoli sprouts appears to be more effective than modern antibiotics against the bacteria which causes peptic ulcers. Moreover, tests in mice show that the compound offers tremendous protection against stomach cancer - the second most common form of cancer in the world.  

The recent study, led by scientists at Johns Hopkins University, is the latest in a series of studies done in the past 10 years on the cancer-fighting potential of broccoli. (1,2)

Back in 1992, Johns Hopkins University pharmacology professor Paul Talalay and his colleagues showed that sulforaphane - a substance produced by the body from a compound in broccoli - could trigger the production of phase II enzymes. Phase II enzymes can detoxify cancer-causing chemicals and are among the most potent anti-cancer compounds known to man.
