    So are avocados. The creature that was supposed to eat avocados whole is long gone.

        You’re eating them whole? Impressive.

          Just make sure you defecate in the woods as nature intended!

            Passing an avocado seed seems rough but doable. I don’t know though, and I wouldn’t want to find out the hard way.

              Have you seen the size of the average butt plug? If the seed stays smooth and slimy in transit (debatable), I don’t think it would be too difficult to pass. I’d be most worried about getting it through some of the kinks in the intestine.

    gingko fruits smell like vomit. we have several female trees on my street & they dump a ton of the fruit on the sidewalk, meaning i track vomit fruit into my apartment when i walk to & from the grocery store.

      There’s a female ginkgo on the campus of the college I went to. We called it the “poo tree.”

    Poor ginkgo trees.

    Too old for their original friends, too young for the new friends after this wave of evolution collapses upon the banks of human wanton destruction of the environment.

        Warning: Reading this article may cause a whiplash-inducing paradigm shift. You will no longer view wild areas the same way. Your concepts of “pristine wilderness” and “the balance of nature” will be forever compromised. You may even start to see ghosts.

        Damn, what a hook!

    Apparently there’s a fungus that grows only on the ginkgo, and it’s also a living fossil.
