Sometimes A Potato Is Just A Potato


I'm not going to provide much in the way of commentary on this one for, I think, obvious reasons. A friend of mine showed me a picture she had taken of a potato and I asked her to send me a copy for my blog (thanks Tiffany!).

So now all of you can marvel with me over one of nature's amazing designs. Or perhaps it's just our marvelous pattern-seeking minds "seeing" things which really aren't there. We do that a lot when surveying nature.

Wow! That's quite a tuber your friend has there. ;)

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Phallic produce is always good for a chuckle.

While we're on the topic, I picked a funny cherry tomato from my garden last summer.

And, of course, there are all of Noodleepoodlee's fertility-themed fruits.

There is less to this than meets the eye.

All I see is a giant firecracker -- but then, I've never really grown up.

D'Ma

Yeah, she told me her mother told her: "Get that thing off your cell phone!"

Ahab,

Thanks for those links. Well, I guess it's true that God has a sense of humor.

Doug B said...

Exrelayman,

Perhaps.

Not something I see often. How did you slice it?

@ Diane,

You got to put something like that on the shelf until it starts to rot. Great conversation starter.
