Oklahoma's decision

I think that this is a piece of news that, albeit old from last week, really is worthy of a little bit more notoriety within society. I mean, it provoked a controversy that has botanists up in arms! (Well, at least it should have botanists up in arms...) But, the week slipped by and not once did I hear anyone else mention it in conversation. In fact, everytime I brought it up last week, people either laughed or they kinda gave me the look of "you really need more to do with your time, Miss College Student." But, even in light of the criticism I have suffered through, I thought I might as well write a little something here just to put it in black and white for my own sake (but mostly for Rebekah's sake): The state of Oklahoma has named the watermelon as its official vegetable. So there you have it. Botany breaks the rules of man's assumptions regarding fruits, veggies and Veggie Tales, but this ruling has broken the rules of botany itself. The watermelon is a fruit!!! If you weren't already aware of this exciting, fascinating and very thought-provoking controversial news item, you really need to read more. Or, you could just say you first read about it here.
