This splendid pervy cactus, though neither fruit nor vegetable, clearly deserves a posting because it looks like a willy!

Here’s another obscure fact. Did you know that in ancient Greece there was a vegetable related punishment for adulterers and a specific word for the description thereof…

Rhaphanidoô means, literally to thrust a radish up the fundament, a punishment of adulterers in Athens.

I am sure if they could see this picture, those who had been punished in that particular manner would be thanking their lucky stars that they had to endure nothing more than a brisk run in with a radish!

Enjoy…
