All sorts of good stuff in it, particularly if you have high blood pressure or diabetes. The headline though, seems a bit overboard.

I have both!
Oh, and I also got a full-on chubby reading that story.
I think they may be right.

I've already got good range at spitting seeds for some distance.

And yet.."helpful for those who suffer from type 2 diabetes" It's never for type one in these studies :mad:

Okay, here's some happy news for type one diabetics:

This is particularly cool, because this is an old vaccine for TB, so all the human safety stuff has been done.

Goes off and slices up watermelon for Turtle.

Thanks.
Unfortunately, I'm with jimjack, so I'll have to take a shot first.

Make my shot a whisky doc. Fortunately I don't have to eat a watermellon for anything except taste but, as a warning for those who use it as viagra, you will wake at two with a strong desire to piss on the ceiling. It's like a gallon of delayed reaction water.

My local supermarket sells dessicated watermelon. More convenient than the standard variety.

Considering a watermelon has about 105% water content, what do those dessicated ones contain?

Or is your local supermarket's manager a former Infocom employee by any chance? :weird:

one of my worst memories of working as a nightcrew stockboy at the local grocery store was carrying dozens of watermellons out to the floor for an hour only to know they would all be gone by noon.:p Guess the situation will be getting a bit worse this sum!

For my July 4th party, I made watermelon balls with half a watermelon, soaked them in strawberry vodka and triple sec orange liquor overnight, then blended the innards of the rest of the watermelon with sprite and vodka.

Needless to say it was the most deliciously horny party I've ever attended.
