A slice of cool, fresh watermelon is a juicy way to top off a 4th of July cookout. It's also a way that researchers say could keep fireworks going into the night.

Watermelons contain an ingredient called citrulline that can trigger production of a compound that helps relax the body's blood vessels when consumed in large quantities.

It's similar to what happens when a man takes Viagra.

Someone would need to eat about six cups of watermelon to get enough citrulline to have an impact.

Details come from Texas A&M scientists.

James what are you doing? Aren't your comments contributing? Be careful before you call the kettle black!

James you are close... I'm proud not to be from Colorado and it is fun to 'Poke the bear' or 'Wave a red rag at a bull' so to speak. As you can see Linda, Anon, A, DD and Troy are all typical weak minded, blinkered, immaturely shallow and more than likely socially inept Coloradoans, but it is fun to get a reaction from these idiots... So, James you're right they should have ignored me but they are just not that smart...In fact if you have any swamp land for sale in Florida you have a captive group here.

Steve's comments were "off color" and instead of Coloradoans being mature and ignoring him they exhibit the typical belittling they're known so well for.

Steve: Do you have anything intelligent to say? Your first post makes you appear to be about as intelligent as a basket of sand.

Wow Steve! You must not have any females in your life with a mouth like that!

What a lame comment! Go take your Viagra, Steve!

Posted by: Anon Location: CS on Jul 5, 2008 at 08:54 PM
I need to go buy a lot of watermelon now!!

Posted by: Steve Location: C/S on Jul 4, 2008 at 01:04 PM
Thank you----Thank you very much...

Steve's comment shows how people can be so ignorant. Whether this was said "tongue in cheek" displays a vert hurtful and very racist remark.

Well, that explains why the black community has so many kids...
