This is Getting Annoying

As most of you know, Em and I get weekly e-mail updates that tell us about the development of our child.  It also tells us roughly the size of our unborn child and compares it to some (usually) food item.  This week our child is 5 1/2 inches long from head to rump (per this website) and compares it to a bell pepper.  That leaves me with only 1 question:

What kind of mutant garden are they growing their produce? 

I went to the store yesterday with a tape measure to prove my theory.  There was not one bell pepper that was 5 1/2 inches long.  The average size was about 3 1/2 - 4 inches.  And if you compare the above picture of the bell pepper to the picture a couple entries down of the turnip (the 5 inches week), I think the turnip is actually bigger than the pepper.  This website is (to use a word from my high school days) wack.

From now on, I think I'm just going to find my own items to compare the size of my unborn child to.  I guarantee I can do a better job than this website.  I'll start with this weeks bell pepper fiasco.  I will limit my search to either a simple Google search or random household items.  You tell me if I can do a better job with this task than this website.  How am I supposed to trust any of the other information on this website if they can't read a tape measure? 

Here's my comparison.  It took me all of about 3 minutes.

This pen is approximately 5 1/2 inches long which is roughly the size of our unborn child -- head to rump. 

I feel so much better.
