    Does anyone know what is this plant? I saw this plant in a disturbed slope in Puente Hills, Los Angeles County. It has a hard shell, when mature the shell become yellowish and has the size around a tennis ball. www.powerzinc.com/w/pu.jpg

    		Although it does not fit your description at maturity, the picture looks like watermelon to me, except the vines look awfully big in comparison to the fruit. Some kind of gourd, perhaps?

    		If the shell stays hard when it's matured & it has a hollow sound to it after it has "dried" for a while, then I would guess that it is a gourd.

    I recently watched a program on the History Channel where they mentioned a plant used by the Romans for birth control. Apparently the method was so effective that the plant was harvested to the point of extinction. Sorry, I didn't catch the name of it. What is known about this plant?

    Ok,so what military shell,still in use today,takes its name from its resemblance to a fruit and I assume its not pineapple which is a grenade but isnt a grenade simply a hand thrown shell?

    What did we call the Carvel ice cream cone that was dipped in the chocolate or strawberry syrup that turned into an immediate hard shell topping?
