Oh my.

First, ghosts in elevators, and now, an exploding melon.

A huge honeydew melon exploded on the dining room table last night.

This was one of the largest melons I've ever bought. I only got it a couple days ago so I was a little shocked. My wife and kids were eating icecream and I went to pick up the melon to move it and BOOM! It blew a hole out one side and spewed seeds and liquid all over the table - flooded it and dripped onto the floor. It was not a pleasant cleanup. I've had them melt down before, but I've never had one explode before!

7. I was too busy mopping up melon goop to grab the camera with my sticky hands.

Sorry.

8. No, not at all.

I think the primitive was just stoned, and dropped it.

If they rot from the inside out, they may rupture - but of course, the primitive embellished a bit.

It was a spectacular sight.

We kill them by ritualistic cutting in these parts.

Takes far more energy, but it does conserve ammo.

Ammunition serves no purpose if not expended.
Anyway, I enjoy reloading spent brass almost as much as firing it.
It's a relaxing way to spend some time.
