I have always thought it was a pineapple tree, like coconuts and bananas. Surely something that size would have to be... If I'm right can I get a right leg, I already have two left legs. *Boom boom* ;)
Let's see now, well, I know that loofahs grow on trees ... and sponges are animals ... and bananas are herbs and their plants walk ... but pineapples ... I think it's plants ...
Without saying which is right or wrong, I'm going to say I knew what I was *going to* respond... and then went to verify it and found out my instincts were *DEAD WRONG*. Of course, since 7th grade (26 years ago!) I've had exactly one biology course and it was on conservation... *grin*.
if harvest moon has taught me anything, it's that pineapples take a while to grown.. in hot climates, are therefore worth a lot, and grow out of green shrub like things. renewable too hahaha
aha i almost wrote a whole thing about how it was probably a plant because it sounds like it would be a tree but then gave up :L
ahhh well. learnt something new :D <3
