I wonder why I picked 7... I normally always pick something with a 6.
The vegetable I thought off wasn't a carrot though.
Nice link Curubethion.

Both of those worked on me when I thought of actual things that worked for the answer, but at first I said "14" and then for the vegetable, I was saying "six" so many times I said "sex!" was a vegetable... *shrug*

I ate a whole bunch of carrots last night, that's why! It's pretty much the only vegetable I like.
