Japanese sushi chef Oki showed us his latest creation, Darth Vader made out of carrots! Never has the Sith Lord looked so yummily crunchy: Link - via Between the Pages
Comments Off This short film is subtitled “A quick tale of violence,” but it’s more odd than violent. A driver picks up carrots off the highway and eats them. Then it gets weird. Produced by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan. -Thanks, Benjamin Hertel!

Peter Jackson dug up a carrot from his home’s garden, found that it was shaped like a hand, took a photo of it … and ate it!
Peter’s daughter Lindsay said:
‘My dad just seemed to make some joke about it being ‘handy’, took a picture and then I think they just ate it. He played it all down, but that’s just the way dad is.
"We’ve not had anything weird since – no arms or legs to go with it. I don’t think his garden is trying to build a carrot man. Now that would really be unusual.
‘It was just one of those one-off freak of nature occurrences – but isn’t it funny?’
Apparently, he’s never heard of the Internet wonder of eBay where something like this might’ve fetched hundreds or thousands of pounds: Link (Photo: newsteam.co.uk)
Sometimes the best idea are the simplest! Marc of Wooster Collective posted this "carrot tree" in Antwerp, Belgium.
Sadly, no other detail is forthcoming – does anyone know what this is all about? A viral campaign to make people eat their carrots? Link
You may say that modern art is silly, but some may prove to be downright dangerous in this post 9/11 world. Take the Bunny Project, an performance art by Conny Blom where he goes around town putting together a suspicious looking object shaped like a bomb. A carrot bomb, to be precies:
Performance commissioned by Kalmar Museum of Art, Sweden. During the inauguration of the new art museum in Kalmar a suspicious individual sneaked around the premises mounting sculptures made of carrots, alarm clocks, red and blue cables, metal wire and tape. On direct orders from the Swedish secret police the performance was stopped since the Culture Minister refused to give her inaugural speech if it were to continue. The speech , as it later turned out, was about how art must be allowed to be free and provocative.
This is quite the magic trick. This little tiny hamster can make the whole carrot just disappear.
Tired of your puny carrot in the produce aisle in your local grocery
store? Tokyobling blog ran across this carrot shown above at a supermarket
in Tokyo.
Apparently, it’s a breed called the "Javelot" long carrot (I can imagine where they get the name: what do you get when you cross a javelin with a carrot?) It is bred and sold by Exhibition Seeds: Link

But that’s not even close to the world record for longest carrot! Joe Atherton of Mansfield Woodhouse in Nottinghamshire is the Guinness World Record holder of the longest carrot ever recorded: 19 feet and 1.875 inches (5.84 m):
