1. Boxing - don't they give some kind of score at the end of each round - like who won that round?
3. I totally thought of rhubarb the other day while I looking outside seeing ours dying but then I thought it was a fruit - not a vegetable. Is it a vegetable?
I didn't think rhubarb was a vegetable but it is and some refer to it as the "uncommon vegetable".
Also, unless it's a knock-out you don't know the score until the end of the match. At the end of each round the announcers will say who they think won the round but the final tally isn't until after the final round...big suspense!
