Maybe The World's Only Cauliflower Artist

Brock Davis, picking up on a visual similarity between a cauliflower floret and a cloud, took that to another level and started modeling famous explosions in cauliflower. Click above to see his Cauliflower-Hiroshima and Cauliflower-Challenger as well as the Cauliflower-Hindenburg pictured above.

Then again, this is the same guy who built a Broccoli Treehouse for his son, lamenting that it was the best he could do for a tree to build a house in, so maybe we shouldn't be so surprised.
