      All plants are brassica and all animals are crabs.

    Ok, I laughed. I think Brassica might be the first genus name I ever learnt that actually stuck in my memory, for this exact reason.

    I can only remember 3 at a time of all the variations of that plant, and people are always incredulous when I talk about it.

              It really is a weird vegetable. I think that someone really liked beetroot but only had brassica, so, they forced it to be more like beets.

    Kinda funny that the Magazine called Comic Strips doesn’t require them to be strips lol. xKCD has so many that aren’t strips too.
