Turnips: The Forbidden Fruit

An addition to the squeak/no squeak data set:
Turnips: no squeak.
I found this out when I noticed a bag from the farmer's market sitting on the kitchen floor last night. I investigated and found several small, round objects that did not look remarkably different from your average tennis ball, only less furry. I thought I'd check one out to see if it was worth either eating or playing with. Word to the wise: turnips do not taste good. Stick with the socks and underwear. However, turnips are fun to play with, even without the squeak. They roll on the floor in a pleasing manner, are just the right size to fit in your mouth, and your humans will chase you if you steal one. Just resist the urge to bite off a chunk.
