Gaah. Extreme measures are called-for to *locate* any "goodness" in
durians. If y'all keep talking about them like this I'm liable to
chunder all over my keyboard.

Ugh.
There is, in DC comic books, a race of shapeshifting aliens called
"Durlans". I do not think the similarity in names is a coincidence.
I think once, long ago, a Durlan was trapped on Earth, turned himself
into a plant to escape detection, and died before he could change
back. Unfortunately, he was only worried about outward appearance and
turned into something completely inedible, but people tried it anyway,
for some reason decided they liked it, and proceeded to breed more of
him...
