Good find subby, very cool

The mushroom, like, didn't image very well, man. Wonder why not. Heh ;)

I'm tripping balls off the artichoke.

Digging the artichoke and the broccoli...very cool! Thanks, Subby!

This is farking awesome.

Proof of intelligent design

The corn reminds me of zombo.com

/the only limit is your self

far out, man

Or you could get a knife and just slice it in half. Not as exciting, but less expensive.

dahmers love zombie: That was totally awesome. The durian looks like the malevolent dark heart of some horrible demon, which would explain the smell.

Haha I was thinking the same thing - durian is throughly evil inside and out, and this proves it.

Most everything else reminded me of a kaleidoscope, or an old Starburst commercial - cool!

LOL. And somewhere, somebody is being denied a MRI to diagnose their cancer because they forgot to tell their insurance agency that they sneezed last Thursday.

That was no pineapple, that was an alien pod

FloydA: The bananas are whispering the great secrets in voices that only the enlightened can hear.

Are you the Bashō?

Shenanigans!: Haha I was thinking the same thing - durian is throughly evil inside and out, and this proves it.

You will eat your durian and like it.

/"You take durian away. No allowed in building."
//Sign on the front of the last hotel I stayed at.

Couldn't you do this with a sharp knife and get it in color?

Fruits, not vegetables

Amazing images. Such complexity. Some of those plants even looked like fractals in some respects. Then again in nature it seems like many fractal elements keep appearing.

/Is that a crop circle in my watermelon or are just glad to see me?

Mmm, magnetic fruit.

melopene: I'm wondering who ACTUALLY is doing this, and where there's an MRI laying around for people to use. And who pays the power bill etc.

That said, this is f*cking awesome.

As someone who just had an MRI of her knee for $800+ (strained MCL from bad landing on a waterslide), I'm hoping the fruits have insurance.

I thought the same sort of thing. No wonder so many Asian hotels don't let you bring it in.
It's also attractive in it's natural state, like a festering taint scrapings.

Don't be silly, there are no fractals put there like it was designed that way. Its just evolved that way from 5 monkeys having buttsecks with a fish frog.

Um...wow.

Anyone got something for these guys to do? Like...I don't know...developing effective treatments or even cures for the world's deadliest diseases?

Cuz...ya know...they're MRI'ing fruit, y'all. They must be bored.

SpinStopper: The mushroom, like, didn't image very well, man. Wonder why not. Heh ;)

If anything, maybe the low moisture content...

AgtSmithReloaded: Um...wow.

Ever wondered how many medical break throughs have occurred by accident while people were just messing around.

That's how they discovered the Space Shuttle

OMG, that pic right there says it all...they look like mouldering zombie scrotums (scroti?)...which would probably be a tastier alternative to durian.

Well there you go. That's one I didn't know about.

The Durian (IDKWTF a Durian is) looks like my nightmares.

Bored professionals are always a treasure trove of awesome.

I suppose this is pointless on Fark but-

Yes, we know, they could have used the MRI time to diagnose tumors inside the colons of bangaldeshi orphans with AIDS.

Leaving aside the obvious point that MRI's for fruit that is at most two feet long and can lie still on its own doesn't take all that long-

once in a while the point isn't "this could be put to better use." Once in a while, the point is "Hey, here is this beautiful thing." or "hey, we used this tool, this technology, this idea to look at something in a new way and its really frickin' cool." If all we ever did was live with our noses to the grindstone, we'd all burn out in a week, and no one would get anything done.

Was it useful? Define useful. It is something cool. It is something beautiful. It certainly fits within many definitions of art. It made my day, at least, a little cooler.

So: tl;dr?

LIGHTEN UP, FRANCIS.

So here it is, Friday night at the height of summer, and we're looking at pictures of fruit.

/Butch Steven's from my 7th grade class was right. I AM a loser.

Oh, man, these were awesome...fractal geometry...organics...golden ratio...tin-foil hat...
