Durian Season

Hey folks. Heavy thorny fruits are starting to fall from the sky, so please be careful about which tree you pick to take a nap under. Newton met an apple. You don't want to meet a durian. Trust me.

Also, drink lots of water. Especially if you're a durian addict like me. Or my mum.

Besides containing lots and lots of fibre, durians are supposed to have a relatively high amount of fat compared to other fruits, but are completely free of cholesterol. Also, these thorny demons are a good source of Vitamin C. This means you can eat this evil-looking fruit as a health supplement, then throw whatever remains of the fruit at a man across the street, killing him instantly.

Like bananas, durians are a good source of potassium. They are also rich in tryptophan. Tryptophan is used by the body to produce serotonin, which induces sleep. So don't eat durians and drive. You might fall asleep and bang into a durian tree, causing an earthbound durian to make a hole in your car.

That said, enjoy your durians, fellow addicts, and try not to visit public places immediately after your durian feast.

*Oh yeah, and thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday, no matter if you wished me directly or if you're one of the 104 people who wished me on Facebook.
