Conjoint (Conjoined) Cucumber From Fukushima

"..So you see, kids?  There's nothing to be worried about:  Radiation doesn't kill things; It just horribly mutates them!"  Fukushima Diary, with Siamese cucumber hotness photo at the link..

Mutation has finally been recognized academically. (cf. ‘Severe abnormalities’ found in Fukushima butterflies [BBC])


Conjoint cucumber was found in Sukagawa city Fukushima. It’s about 60km from Fukushima plant.

In the morning of 8/18/2012, It was found in the kitchen garden of Mr. Ohno (60). He thinks it’s because of the intense heat and lack of rain. (No..)

60 kilometers from Fukushima, growing cucumbers.  That's rough.  On the up side, maybe by next harvest, the cucumbers will have superpowers allowing them to harvest themselves.
