Brussels sprouts refuse to grow up. This hideous life form has baffled science for years. Children and dogs, being sensitive to evil, refuse to eat Brussels sprouts. The Latin name for the Brussels sprout is vestige Infernus or "leafy thing from hell." The first botanist to identify the sprout said it came from the nether regions. An inept lab assistant changed this to the Netherlands, and this was further corrupted to Brussels. As to their being sprouts, they have been sprouting from harmless broccoli, which leads me to believe they might be a type of fungus. Whatever they are, they don't grow up, and neither will you if you eat them.
