Artichokes are perennials if you live in Zones 7 or greater. For the rest of us, artichokes are considered annuals. Artichokes are members of the thistle family and are often referred to as globe artichokes. The edible bud is actually an immature flower. The artichoke flower is made up of a cone of short, thick-stemmed bracts (leaves) that are tender and edible.

The big red tasty part of a straberry isn't a fruit. It's a pseudocarp - a big red receptable that swells to contain the strawberry's reproductive organs (incuding ovaries). Dontcha wish all female reproductive organs tasted like that?

And those little seed-like dots all around the strawberry? Guess what? They're not seeds. Actually, those little things are fruits. And inside (not outside) each of those little fruits is one tiny strawberry seed.

This answer is muddled. First of all, where is ERROR? Secondly, listing "passed ball" and "catcher drops third strike" as two items confuses the issue: I think you mean to dinstinguish beween "strikeout, ball eluding the catcher as a wild pitch (denoting responsibility on the pitcher)" and "strikeout, ball eluding the catcher as a passed ball (denoting responsibility on the catcher)." Finally, a batter can reach base not only on catcher's interference (e.g., the catcher's mitt coming into contact with the bat on a swing) but also on fielder's interference, a.k.a. "obstruction."
