Learned about the Shope Papilloma Virus, a disease that turns rabbits into cryptids (specifically a jackalope or wolpertinger, al-mi'raj or any other form of horned hare)

Jackfruit are freakin' massive, in fact it's the largest fruit grown from a tree. It's also banned in a lot of places because it can dangerously lower blood sugar levels. It can have a meat-like texture and is often used as a vegetarian substitute for meat.

the smell of jackfruit is so sickening that i skipped a train journey once rather than attend the wedding

From what I've read it has a strong sweet smell. Is it just that overpowering?

Can you elaborate on the blood sugar levels thing? My wife has been eating a lot of vegan food due to going on a no milk diet while breastfeeding and she loves this jackfruit burger at a local cafe. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I'd be worried about eating something that could mess with my bsl like that but information is vague online.

I can't I'm afraid, everything I learned about it was from searching on the internet after our DM introduced Jackfruit in our D&D game so I've probably read more or less the same stuff as you have.

Simona Halep is a Romanian of Aromanian descent, and while Romania doesn't recognize Aromanian as a distinct ethnic minority, their language is to Romanian what Sicilian is to Italian, so people don't entirely agree on whether it's a dialect of Romanian or it's a separate but closely related language

It's not entirely clear why wine gums are called that, possibly it was just marketing to make people think they're fancy, another theory says that it's because you're supposed to savor them like wine. The legend about them goes that the guy who invented them was almost kicked out by his dad who was a strict Methodist teetotaler for selling a product that contained alcohol, which wine gums don't have

I learned the the fish called bogue has the scientific name of Boops boops (given to it by Linnaeus), which is sadly supposed to be pronounced bow-ops, it's it's supposedly boōps from greek or something, and means cow eye. Not gonna stop me from thinking about it as the plural of boop

Could be a case of mistaken identity? Durians look a lot like Jackfruits but unlike (ripe but not spoiled) Jackfruits they are most well known for smelling like rotting corpses.
