The best part is she can't lose it in the bathtub.

I like the way she hugs her zucchini.

My roommates and I grew some zucchini from seed a few years ago in our backyard in Williamsburg. We had one that was probably 4-in in diameter and about 3-ft long. We joked that the soil was probably radioactive... and, since it probably was, we were all too scared to eat it.

How can we be sure that's not just a regular-sized zucchini and that Apollonia Castitlione is in reality just 4 inches tall?.

That's not a zucchini, it's a googootz.

"I went to look at it one day and was like, 'It's a little long,' then a few days later, I said, 'Oh, my God, what's this?' "I decided I wasn't going to touch it and just let it grow." "It's getting hard, so wouldn't be good to eat anymore and it's starting to grow very slowly." "It's so straight, it's so perfect. Usually, some are really crooked."

I hate it when the press mistake my penis for a plant
