And in news of the..uh..interesting website variety...

Are tomatos evil? Apparently this website's founder and its members think so! It is a web site dedicated to the percentage of the Earth's population who don't like tomatos. We are not talking about a mild dislike or a medical allergy; but the realization that this fruit is the Spawn of Satan.

Cherry, Plum, Beef, Sundried, Green, Organic or home grown; all should burn in hell.
