Did he also send a picture of how disappointed he was when there were only pidgeys in the VIP room?

I was fairly certain I've posted it before, but posts are free.
Besides, what makes you think I'm keeping a dead tree? Were more economical; it's made of plastic.

Can you find the vegetable?

@Atazhaia after having a think I determined that practically all of them were fruits and hazarded a guess on corn. When that expectedly failed, I guessed I had to methodically click each one for it to laugh at me about how none were vegetables. Only while doing that did I work it out.
Though it's rude of them to…

@kazitor It depends on your definition of vegetable, of course:
The word vegetable was first recorded in English in the early 15th century. It comes from Old French, and was originally applied to all plants; the word is still used in this sense in biological contexts. It derives from Medieval Latin vegetabilis "growing, flourishing" (i.e. of a plant), a semantic change from a Late Latin meaning "to be enlivening, quickening".
The meaning of "vegetable" as a "plant grown for food" was not established until the 18th century. In 1767, the word was specifically used to mean a "plant cultivated for food, an edible herb or root". The year 1955 saw the first use of the shortened, slang term "veggie".
As an adjective, the word vegetable is used in scientific and technical contexts with a different and much broader meaning, namely of "related to plants" in general, edible or not—as in vegetable matter, vegetable kingdom, vegetable origin, etc.
Also, "mushrooms are fungi", not "mushrooms are fungus".
-
@Zecc the one thing I do know about vegetables is that the term is effectively meaningless.
Which makes it excellent bait of course.

@Atazhaia said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

It's based on the myth that something can't be a vegetable if it's also a fruit (botanically speaking), but then it expands the view so that something can't be a vegetable if it's anything else, such as a grain.

It's a fuzzy culinary term, but generally vegetables are distinguished from fruits (in the culinary, not botanical sense) by sweetness.

Yeah, that page is bullshit.
hidden to not spoil it for anyone hwo may actually find that page funny
Something being a fruit does not preclude it also being a vegetable. It makes about as much sense as saying that the carrot isn't a vegetable but a root.In a similar vein, saying that the mushroom is not a vegetable but a fungus is like saying that the carrot is not a vegetable but a plant.
So all in all, big confusion of categories there.

@ixvedeusi said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
saying that the mushroom is not a vegetable
is acknowledging the fact that fungi are an independent kingdom, separate from plants.

As far as I can tell, the best definition for "vegetable" is "anything we're used to calling a vegetable". The requirement of being a plant is suspiciously absent from this definition, just like "not being a fruit" isn't part of it.

Many botanical fruits are culinary vegetables, but to my knowledge, rhubarb is the only botanical vegetable that is a culinary fruit.

And I think the only reason rhubarb (a stalk) is often considered a fruit is that it's baked into sweet pies.

Well, I have not seen rhubarb since I left New England, and there I only ever saw it used in pies. I can find other uses for it on the web, but I don't know how common these are in the real world.
I also don't recall anyone ever actually calling it a fruit. (FWIW, I don't recall anyone calling it a vegetable, either.)
