Holy Shcnikeys, I did not know that.

Edit: Um... I have been reading and what I can find says that pineapple seeds are only on the inside, but that it is rare to find a seeded pineapple because they are self-sterile (self pollination will not produce seeds) and only a hummingbird can pollinate them normally.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
