wow great idea!

If you sprinkle some lemon juice on it it will keep it from browning.

that's pretty cool, although you need to be careful about the white part, if you eat it you'll get sick, also it might be cool if you cut all the way through the scores and made it jigsaw-esque, so that you could take out hunks of brain to eat. i teally like the idea though it's awesome

 you don't get sick from the white part, it just taste yucky

Enough also has the same effect as Viagra.  Enough, however, is more than an elephant would eat.

My great-grandmother used to pickle the white parts, and ooh, was it yummy. Probably should be ok to eat raw. Though it might make you sick if you pickled it, and then poured grenadine over it. :)

I'd like a reference for that. Since when does eating the white part make you sick? Sure, it's hard and tasteless, but that's about all.

The white part of the watermelon is equivalent to the peach part of a cantaloupe, the part that you do eat. The pink part of the watermelon is the equivalent of the stringy part of the cantaloupe, the part that you throw away, (it is called the placental tissue). For something like a zucchini or a cucumber, you eat both the meat and the placental tissue.
Depending on the variety, the cucurbits store their tasty in different parts of the fruit.

maybe an old wives tale, but my mum has always warned us that the white part will give you the runs,

[hernanai]

good to know... I'll let my grandma know... lol...

[jeff-o]

I'm not saying it's wrong, just that it's not necessarily true. ;) It could give you the runs because it's packed with water and fiber...
