"BellPepper" news and stories

My bell pepper is pregnant with an alien

mutant bell pepper
This morning while I was prepapring vegetables to add to my egg white omelet for brunch, I came across something that sort of freaked me out in a fascinating, but still scary, way. I cut open a red bell pepper and when I peered inside to see if I had cleared the seeds, I saw a mutant green growth in the top! It kind of looks like a curled leaf or perhaps the beginning of a tiny new bell pepper.

It made me think my bell pepper was a mutant, and I wasn't sure if it was natural, or the result of some strange alien voodoo. What is wrong with this bell pepper? Is there something wrong with it? Will I die if I eat it? Or will I just spontaneously sprout small green bell peppers from somewhere on my body? My imagination sort of went crazy.

Then I got hungry so I added the pepper to the pan for the omelet. I have yet to see if I sprout bell peppers on my body somewhere.
