The OP has disappeared...maybe because she has now been assimilated and the alien is using her body as a convenient cover to infect the rest of the population...

Hairy, we need to work out whether you are the first victim of the hideous alien parasite spawn, whose agonising death is overlooked by the authorities until it is almost too late, or the plucky maverick who single-handedly brings down the alien host.

Have you recently
(a) agreed to marry your childhood sweetheart
(b) decided to retire from your dangerous job and have only another 48 hours to get through
(c) uttered the words "I'll be right back", or
(d) worn a red shirt?

If so, do you have a current will in place?

Omg it looks like a giant egg sac and the babies may have already vacated. Never buying pears again!! Shock

Hairy for the love of god woman, BURN IT, Burn it now before it buries I to your brain and you become a zombie.

I'm illing anyway, but that's just made sure. I'm off work tomorrow too.

Was it an Asian Pear Hairy (the ones that are more apple shaped than pointy and they sell them wrapped in a little webbing jacket?)

Just Google Imaged them, they seem to have a bigger core than a regular pear.

(Still no idea what that is but it looks more plant than parasite rogue creature)

Dillydollydaydream · 04/02/2014 10:25

Oh my god. Just seen the cutted open pear picture Shock
For the love of God what is it?!

EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!

You killed it, it's sending a silent signal that we are a hostile planet and must be invaded. We're doomed.

I was eating some Shredded Wheat and mashing it down into the milk because I liked it soggy.

I turned over one them to get the other side and there was a huge dead beetle cocooned in the strands. I'd been squeezing it into the milk and I'd drunk most of it.

We wrote to Nabisco to complain and I got loads of free cereal in compensation but I've never really liked Shredded Wheat since.

Fry it up and eat it with some fava beans and a nice chianti

WowserBowser · 04/02/2014 10:22

I will give you 100 pounds if you eat a bit. Do you have paypal?

notso · 04/02/2014 10:22

Eerrrrr, that's rank.
This whole thread is rank. Pepper moths, mould mounds, Jizz Mac, beetle buns
Poke it
Does it smell?

I want a baby pear mouse.

SlightlyDampWellies · 04/02/2014 10:21

maybe a tumour. Do pears get tumours?

flagnogbagnog · 04/02/2014 10:20

It looks like an old testicle.

Maybe someone got a bit too frisky with the pear tree.

I really am too scared to cut into it. I might prod it with a knife if I can pluck up the courage.

TSSDNCOP · 04/02/2014 10:08

Zzz not beyond a first bite because of the graininess. Look what happens when you take TWO bites

Fruit is not all its cracked up to be I tell you. Who knows what lies beneath.

Sunshineonsea · 04/02/2014 10:08

Marks place for the grand opening

WowserBowser · 04/02/2014 10:07

Yes please poke it. I have housework to be doing.

Yes! It's like fruit sporn! Sound the KLAXON

Could you just poke it a bit with a knife? Just to see if there is any pus inside? Please?
