'The little rift within the lover's lute
Or little pitted speck in garnered fruit,
That rotting inward slowly moulders all.

The cost savings could be passed to consumers.

Whenever material and labor costs increase, the price increases. Whenever material and labor costs decrease, the price probably increases.

Hermaphrodites produce yummy fruit.

I'm not doubting his claim, but I am wondering why. Can some kind of botany plant science farmer explain this to me?

It'd be a great experiment to label fruits in the store as 'WARNING: Genetically modified Hermaphrodite Fruit!' the same way they label 'Irradiated Meat!' or 'CLONED OMGOMGOMG'

why aren't bananas labeled as cloned?

Thus doubling its chances for a date on Saturday night.

Science: is there anything it can't do?

The Chosen One would never rot in a field like a papaya.

Why is it every time I read "The cost savings could be passed to consumers." (from TFA), I want to retch and kill someone?

Papaya is nasty. Mango is the king of tropical fruits!

That is all.

Papaya is a pretty decent queen.
And it grows like a mo fo. Spit out a seed and you're picking fruit by the end of the year.

This gender swiitcheroo does it increase, decrease, neither, reduce the amount raw/ripe needed to be consumed to induce abortion?

Surely there is a Clinical Pharmacologist on fark.com

Read many years ago in some article it plus another plant can be used in combination for such.

Thats an 827:

I don't feel like reading the article, but I am 99% sure there is something in it that would make the missing apostrophe in the headline appropriate. Otherwise, people would have posted a lot of stuff about it.

tonesskin: I don't feel like reading the article, but I am 99% sure there is something in it that would make the missing apostrophe in the headline appropriate. Otherwise, people would have posted a lot of stuff about it.

An extra apostrophe would have been more appropriate.

Why not just clone the females? Geez, if a bunch of potheads can figure it out I don't see the millions being worth it for this plant.

An old wrinkled hermaphrodite?

Sounds like parts of San Francisco or the Sydney Gay Mardi Gras on a rough night!
