Ever had a clementine? They’re these delicious mini orange-type things that we eat quite a few of around the holidays. They’re seedless and easy to peel which makes for a great snack.

Except for last night.

Last night, as we were staying up late to welcome in the new year, several clementines were consumed. However, as I peeled open one of mine IT STARTED BLEEDING.

Not really. If it had started oozing blood the title of this post wouldn’t have had a question mark at the end; it would have had a lot of profanity. And I would have already mentioned how I soiled myself.

Something a bit odd did happen though. As I was eating it I bit into something hard: a seed. Never, out of the dozens of clementines I’ve eaten have I ever had a seed. A bit puzzled, I spit it into the peel.

But the next slice had two seeds.

And the next had another one.

This went on until I’d found ten seeds in a piece of seedless fruit only slightly larger than a golfball. 

10 seeds.
10 minutes to midnight.
10 minutes to 2010.

What do you make of it? Bizarre coincidence or a sign of something to come? Roll the bones and let me know what you think in the comments.
