I think this quiz is flawed?

 

[gasbanni]

Well I didn't think anyone would answer as the emails been going around for months !!!!!!!!!!

All you who answered it have fooled no one

Maybe yourselves perhaps

 

[securespark]

Well, I answered a few in my head without resorting to Google.

I do know that Strawberry is not a fruit.

And the Boris, much as I dislike him, is not a vegetable.

And Paul Daniels did not get the pear in the bottle.

 

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

If a Strawberry is not fruit, what is it then?
and Daniels did do the deed while Debbie was not looking!
and Boris may not be a veg but is a fruit!
PS congratulation regarding son's achievements.

 

[securespark]

Thanks re son.

Strawberries, strictly speaking are not fruit nor are they berries, but are pseudocarps or false fruits. It's all to do with the way the thing grows.
