Giant Sunflowers and Massive Pumpkins
// December 29th, 2009 // Jibber Jabber, Just for Fun
The giant sunflower. It can get as big as 20 feet / 8 meters high, that’s bigger than a giraffe! Varieties include Sunzilla and Mammoth.
There’s no science here, it’s just awesome – heard about it yesterday playing a game called BS, here’s a sample. Can a type of antelope can sleep underwater? Aye! Sitatunga be their name, and they keep their nostrils in the air. Can a moose sneeze kill a man? Nope, complete BS. Great game.
And for your further enjoyment, behold the giant pumpkin, most powerful of all the pumpkins!
What is it with people and giant stuff? I don’t grow giant stuff, mlia.
