Sep 19 2009Holy: Farmer Grows Buddah Shaped Pears
In this week's "growing things that look like other things" news, a Chinese farmer has learned how to grow Buddah shaped pears. But are they sacrilegious to eat?
Hao Xianzhang, a local famer, spent six years to perfect the process by growing the pears inside moulds, local media reported. The pears cost around 50 yuan (7.32 USD) each.
Pfft, that's nothing. One time I grew an apple that looked like I cut a hole in it and smoked weed out of it. BECAUSE I DID. Who has the green thumb now, bitches?!
Hit the jump for two more shots of the holy fruit.

Holy crap it took him SIX years to figure out how to mold growing fruit? That guy should be working for OUR government.

They do that at Epcot (the boring disney park). They grow pumpkins and stuff in molds.

Big deal, im growing one in my colon as we speak and it should be for sale soon. Unfortunately it will be priced around 9 grand because pulling the little wagon with a potted pear tree in in tied to the back of my belt for the last 3 weeks has been hell.
