I used to think that if you actually ate the seeds from an apple or orange, then a small tree would grow inside your belly.
getting bigger and bigger each day and finally you'd start to see the branches growing out of your mouth and there was no way to stop it.
you'd just eventually suffocate and die!
that's why to this day
-even though i know it's not true -
i never eat the pips/seeds........ just in case :s
