OT What is seeded watermelon?

I went to the store the other day and saw a new mutant fruit. A pluot (or
pluout) a plum and god knows what else.

Hmmm....seems we're starting to talk about the seedier side of life
here. First glass, now fruit! What next, vegetables? But wait! if
it has seeds, isn't it a fruit?

P.S. this will teach me to read a newsgroup just before bed.

watermelon as good as the original ones, watermelons. The ones with
seeds. Maybe a few hundred more years of bio-engineering and they might
catch up. No problem.

But now I find I can no longer find my beloved watermelon. Seems I have
to choose between a "seedless" watermelon and a "seeded" watermelon. I
take it they mean watermelons with seeds. WATERMELONS ARE NOT SEEDED,
THE SEEDS WERE ALREADY IN THERE, AND THEY ARE CALLED WATERMELONS. That's
it. Watermelons. We have watermelons and we have "seedless" watermelons.
If I had my way, anyone referring to a watermelon as "seeded" would be
sentenced to a life without watermelon. They don't deserve such a fine
treat.

I feel much better.

BTW, do "pitted" prunes have pits in them?

that would be a plum and an apricot. And they are good g
