Re: The Vegetables Didn't Do It
My guess is one of The Killer Tomatoes came rolling through and mowed him dowm. For some reason the song 'Puberty Love' is humming in my brain now.  |

Re: The Vegetables Didn't Do It
Yes, these are coconuts, but they are immature/unripe ones. When ripe, they are totally brown, and dry-looking. The husk is very fibrous and underneath all the husk, is the hard ball that you crack open to get the yummy white fruit. I grew up in Florida, and as a kid, I used to throw a coconut up at the clusters to make more fall down. Then, I'd use a pickaxe to split the husks and peel them off. Then a screwdriver through the end "eye" to pour the milk out. It was VERY hard to do, but then again, I was a weird little kid growing up on the banks of a canal in Miami. Ok, lol..... This guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time....looks like a whole cluster broke off the palm tree and came down on him.....damn...just ONE green coconut weighs about 5 lbs.  |

Re: The Vegetables Didn't Do It
Yeahhh...that's probably right...he was prolly up in the coconut tree trying to get some, when the cluster bent over & broke off, sending him tumbling into hotwires. Or, another stupid person trying to steel copper via climbing a palm tree adjacent to the power line. Yup, I think you're right!  |
