Fruit difficulties
« on: February 25, 2008, 09:25:07 am »
Today's XKCD is awesome:


Although personally, I'd move tomatoes farther left, they're pretty difficult to cut up (they tend to squish and piss me off).

The coconut is so far off to the left, that you can't even see it. I spent 2 hours trying to crack open one of those suckers!

... then I realized it was canned. so I got out my can opener.

Oranges and tomatoes should be up.


Coconuts fails.  It took me forever to drill a hole in one to pour out the milk and pour in rum.

"Coconuts are so far down to the left they couldn't be fit on the chart. Ever spent half an hour trying to open a coconut with a rock? Fuck coconuts."

That was Randall's comment on coconuts. :)

Yeah, I was trying to paraphrase that. I wasn't entirely sure if Ergot was alluding to that or not, so I kept my response generic. :D

That's not a problem with tomatoes, that's a problem with your knife!  Tomatoes slice easily with a sharp one.

I've tried several knives, both sharp and serrated, none work well. Maybe we have tough Winnipeg tomatoes here..

It's not that funny to me, mainly because I disagree with it alot. It's a cute idea, but I have no difficulty cutting tomatoes and I love them.

I like his blog about this comic:

Quote
Holy crap. This strip’s been up for 800 seconds and it’s already the most controversial thing I’ve ever written, beating out comics about cunnilingus, the Obama endorsement, and my making 4chan tiny on the map of the internet. It turns out everyone and their mother has a fruit opinion, and every one of those opinions is now in my inbox.

Just remember to keep some perspective. If you think watermelon is delicious, and I think it’s only so-so, the important thing is that we each find something we like. Who’s to say whose taste is right?

I am. You are wrong; watermelon is overrated.

Also, I have never liked cantaloupe. It brings down otherwise tasty fruit salads. There, I said it.

I think it's pretty interesting that so many people disagree with his placements enough to bring it up.  When my friend linked it to me last night, he followed up by saying "I don't agree with his position on X..." and then brought up a bunch of similar claims.

I agree, though, oranges are more delicious than pineapples.

Oh, and lemons are awesome.  :)

Plain?  I've tried it.  It's not as bad as I expected, but I think I agree with Randall's placement.
