Yep, you guessed it (and you're off to a really great start!) -- because, for tonight's net, we will be asking you just 3 simple Pineapple questions.
Perhaps you may already know that the most identifiable bromeliad, the pineapple, is classified as a perennial herb in the botantical family Bromeliaceae.
For those of you living in the Southeast USA, another common bromeliad can be found there hanging from trees; it's called "Spanish Moss".
And bromeliads can be found almost everywhere -- especially in shopping malls decorated with those vase-shaped plants (Aechmea fasciata) that have a showy pink stalk with purple flowers sticking out of their center.
Thus, accordingly, our 3 TRUE/FALSE Questions tonight are about the Pineapple -- Ananas (comosus).
Please give us your best answers for each of the following 3 TRUE or FALSE questions, by using the (reuseable) answers of "A"=TRUE or "B"=FALSE.
So how much do you know about the Pineapple -- Ananas (comosus)?
Question #1: The pineapple fruit that we buy and eat is actually a fusion of berrylike fruitlets that developed from flowers on the end of a stem that spikes above the pineapple plant -- TRUE or FALSE?
A. True, or
B. False
Question #2: Like all bromeliads, the pineapple produces 3-petal flowers (about 100-200 per plant) that develop many seeds. In Hawai'i, for example, growing new pineapples from seed is the most economical way to propagate new pineapple crops -- TRUE or FALSE?
A. True, or
B. False
Question #3: Another way to propagate pineapples -- and one that you can do yourself with a fresh pineapple -- is to twist off the leafy crown from the fruit, let the crown dry for about 2 weeks, and then pot it up like a common houseplant -- TRUE or FALSE?
A. True, or
B. False

++ Pineapple JOKE OF THE DAY ++ --
Q: Why did the pineapple stop in the middle of the road?
A: Because it ran out of juice
[SOURCE: http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/foodjokes/pineapplejokes.html]A: Because it ran out of juice
"Obviously "Bromeliad" is simply a shortening of the scientific name "Bromeliaceae" to indicate any member of the Pineapple family. We might call them all pineapples since they are members of that family, and not bother to find a new term. However, it would cause confusion to associate such diverse forms as the giant Puya and the Spanish Moss under a name for which we have already a sharp and narrow concept...."
Pronunciation Guide (from BSI Journal):
Ananas -- anay' nas is strictly correct, but ananas pronounced like the word bananas is permissible.
comosus -- koh moh' sus
