Genius, 24, eats Jackfruit Seed

Currently Playing: Ads on Class95

(a respite from the ultra long entries u've been reading... dun wanna bore my dear readers.)

Yesterday, a local genius, so referred to as he has spent many more years in university than his peers, ate a jackfruit seed.

He (didn't give his name as he does not want to be identified) was present at his university's sailing club welcome tea, which was held 5-8pm, when finger food was made available by the welfare IC of the committee.

The finger food, meant for 20-30 ppl, consisted of stiff, dry french fries, burnt spring rolls, passable curry puffs, (only) EIGHT chicken nuggets and six suspicious looking hunks of what appeared to be fried chicken meat, mostly bought from a nearby muslim food stall.

Being hungry, it being dinner time, the protagonist, having tried most of the other food to little satisfaction, gamely took a large bite of a suspicious chicken meat hunk, which no one on scene had tried before.

Munching on the terribly crunchy, hard and tasteless food item, not only did he realise it wasn't meat, he noticed a weird phenomenon: instead of teeth marks, a large, perfectly circular concave void was staring back at him in the remaining half of the food item.

Thinking nothing of it, he finished the rest of what he thought was a fried, rather tasteless, dry cake; not unlike that of a fried banana cake, but less oily and with a crunchy component.

After some time spent chatting with friends, the protagonist returned to the food table to find, amongst everything else, a plate empty except for 2 round, hard objects which a fellow commitee member labelled "jackfruit seeds".

The horrible feeling of realisation dawning upon one is quite unforgettable.

Thankfully, the shock was hidden well from the people looking on.

The local genius, hereby re-establishing his title, shall henceforth endeavour to be less adventurous about food.
