Irony?

I just thought it was more ironic that we would have to suffer through two threads on the subject.

I counted three.

Relevance to aviation = 0.

Um, like, who cares about Cantalupo anyway?

Here's another impertinent fact: Even though his name sounds like a melon it's really Italian for Wolf Song.

Not only that but, "In boca al'lupo," is an Italian idiomatic expression that means "good luck."

Literally translated it means, "In the mouth of the wolf."

And now, Sports!

Here's another impertinent fact: Even though his name sounds like a melon...

A Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo, or Cucumis melo reticulatus), also spelled cantaloup, also called muskmelon and rockmelon, is a variety of round melon with firm, orange, moderately-sweet flesh and a reticulated beige to light-brown rind. Varieties with redder and yellower flesh exist, but are uncommon, and are not considered to be as flavorful as the more common orange variety. Cantaloupes belong to family Cucurbitaceae, which includes nearly all melons and squashes. Cantaloupes may range in size from 7-12 cm in diameter, but typically exceed 12 cm in diameter. Specimens larger than 20 cm and weighing several pounds have been recorded. Like all melons, cantaloupes grown best in sandy, well-aereated, well-watered soil that is free of encroaching weeds.

For commercial plantings, one hive per acre is the minimum recommendation by the US Department of Agriculture for pollination. Good pollination is important, not only for the number of fruits produced, but for the sugar content of these fruits.
