"Combustible Watermelons" - Chinese Watermelons Explode - Polidicks

[quote]Watermelons have been bursting by the score in eastern China after farmers gave them overdoses of growth chemicals during wet weather, creating fields of "land mines" instead of the bounty of fruit they wanted. About 20 farmers around Danyang city in Jiangsu province were affected, losing up to 45 hectares of melon, China Central Television said in an investigative report. Prices over the past year prompted many farmers to jump into the watermelon market. All of those with exploding melons apparently were first-time users of the growth accelerator forchlorfenuron, though it has been widely available for some time, CCTV said. The farmers used it during an overly rainy period and put it on too late in the season, causing the melons to burst open, CCTV said, citing agricultural experts. Chinese regulations don't forbid the drug, and it is allowed in the US on kiwi fruit and grapes. But the report underscores how farmers in China are abusing both legal and illegal chemicals, with many farms misusing pesticides and fertilisers. Farmer Liu Mingsuo ended up with three hectares of ruined fruit and told CCTV that seeing his crop splitting open was like a knife cutting his heart. "On May 7, I came out and counted 80 (burst watermelons) but by the afternoon it was 100," Liu said. "Two days later I didn't bother to count anymore."[/quote] Source: [url]http://news.ninemsn.com.au/technology/8250359/chinese-watermelons-explode[/url] [b]I'm going to get my engineers to invent a combustible [i]Watermelon[/i] that BURNS your house down.[/b]

Inb4 stupid fuck space and combustible lemons jokes

So, if combustible lemons burn houses down, combustible watermelons can be used as crude incendiary bombs? Also, what would be the combustible fruit equivalent of an atom bomb?

melons is an anagram of lemons combustible lemons mind = blown

When life gives you late content, you rate it late.

Bahahaha what. China, you so silly. Having no human rights and low wages is one thing And making cancer-inducing fake eggs is another And having nearly no original products is a third But when you start making lemons explode from chemicals, shit gets questionable :v:
