What is a grape?

[wanna-b-ballin']

hey, i was just working on a huge essay due tomorrow, and ADD took over, and somehow i got to thinking about grapes.

ok, so grapes grow on vines. pumpkins also grow on vines, and they are a kind of squash.
and a grape is soft and stuff like a fruit. but fruit grows on trees. and a grape sure doesn't seem like a vegetable because it doesn't grow on or in the ground. and a grape doesn't have a hard covering or a rhine like a melon.

can someone tell me what a grape is? i cant concentrate on my essay because i'm all worked up on grapes and i need an answer. wow i feel stupid

thanks.

did you know if you take a grape and cut it almost all the way in half, then fold it so the cut surface is face down on a plate with the skin still intact on one side. and then put it into a microwave that the grape will actually spark

no seriously go try it... i just did it with one of those big green ones on a regular porcelin(sp) plate

just make sure you dont cut all the way through and make sure you have the skin intact on one side of the grape

The question is, what isn't a grape?

i started to have a feeling it was because of they way they are constructed.

could just be the plate

could just be the plate

My parents have those exact same plates and they do not do that in the microwave... so it must be the grape then!!!

If memory serves me correctly from Bio, one of the ways to define a fruit is that it has seeds. ( Because it's from the flower of the plant.) This is why a tomato is a fruit. (At least classified scientifically.) Sorry I couldn't help more.

when you figure that part out, you can then ponder what separates a wine grape from a regular grape

Arent wine grapes much smaller or someting like that. I think i member hearing that somewhere, but i could be completly wrong.
