It is more likely that humans could crossbreed with turnips than with aliens.

It’s true. I have met some of those offspring. My next-door neighbor voted for some of them. 😉

A little gentle mocking might work. Blatant attacks claiming drug use, do not. (Plus asking for an illegal drug recipe would be another rules violation.)

Do not do this in this Forum, again.

Sir, you are insulting the intelligence of turnips!

I probably shouldn’t be encouraging this, **fadinyo,** but if you’re really interested in this stuff, check out [_Genesis of the Grail Kings,_](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1931412936/sr=1-1/qid=1154382819/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-8508178-8162241?ie=UTF8&s=books) by [Laurence Gardner](http://graal.co.uk/index.html) (who also happens to be, or once was, the “Historiographer Royale” for [Michel LaFosse,](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Michael_of_Albany) a/k/a “Prince Michael of Albany,” an almost certainly fraudulent claimant to the Scottish throne). Knock yourself out! 🙂

I’m primarily interested in debunking the whole thing due to a friend who has put all logic aside and embraced these beliefs, despite evidence to the contrary. I figured this would be a good place to get some solid information. Thanks for your help.

Since beets were called blood turnips, all this reminded me of a Gary Larson cartoon:

The scene shows a hall with giant beet models, some with feet and others with wings.

A Teacher then says to the astounded kids:

“Fifty million years ago, these giant creatures ruled the land, the sea, and the sky… It was the “Age of Beets””!!
