  • Title: “Pregnant Pepper”
  • Media: Momma Pepper. Baby Peppers
  • Submitted by: Heather S.
  • Heather writes: "After I cut the top off of the seemingly normal pepper, I noticed a tiny baby pepper nestled all snugly in it's peppery womb. Upon removing the poor thing, I noticed that it was not one baby, but two- conjoined twin baby peppers. This whole thing was too traumatizing for me, and I couldn't bring myself to eat the mamma pepper or the baby peppers. To date, the pappa pepper has not been identified." Twin baby peppers! Mazel tov!

  • Title: “The Grapetacular Experiment”
  • Media: Grapes. Extreme Market Competition.
  • Submitted by: Steve P. (Bluffton, South Carolina)
  • Feeling pressure from the popularity of other fruits on the market, the L.G.C. (Large Grape Conglomerate) has been experimenting with a new grape-based product that it hopes will steal some customers from the lucrative A.P.O.P. (apple, pear, orange and papaya) demographic. Intrepid photographer, Steve P., went to great lengths to obtain these images of this confidential fruit prototype. Good work Steve.

  • Title: “Cu-Cu-Cucumber!”
  • Media: Cucumber. Mad Science.
  • Submitted by: Elen O.
  • Clearly, this cucumber is evidence of a strange & mad science occurring somewhere in the world. Elen didn't mention such a device, but I am certain that the once-impossible MERGING RAY is being tested within Elen's greenhouse. What merged-vegetable madness does the future hold?

crazy cucumber

  • Title: “All-Kinds-of-Crazy Cucumber”
  • Media: Cucumber. Craziness.
  • Submitted by: Penny S.
  • Penny grew this cucumber and reports that it "looks like it has babies." Yes, Penny, there is that... and the fact that it's curled upon itself as if it's cradling those "babies." I'm creeped out and very confused. Why do I run this museum?!

  • Media: Peach + Peach
  • Submitted by: Rosie H.
  • Rosie discovered this submission right after her first visit to the MoFA. Dare we say that the MoFA's powers extend beyond that of the Internet? Dare we?! Yes. We dare.
