Compared to these tales of mass extinction, knocking the sh1t out of a blackbird seems puny

Now this is not a friend of a friend story until you pass it on... This actually did happen to a friend of mine called Pat.
Pat was riding merrily away one day, trying to decided whether or not to pass the truck in front of him. Next thing he knew, he woke up in hospital. Thanks to powerful skills of deduction, it was decided that Pat had been hit in the head by a pumpkin and knocked off his bike (helmet & nose contained seeds...). There was some lengthy unconsciousness involved, but one will never know whether that was caused by said pumpkin or the ensuing stack.
This, however, IS a friend of a friend story, but it's Pat's friend, and knowing Pat, I'm inclined to believe it
...
This 'friend' had to get two people and one motorcycle from Brisbane to the Gold Coast (about 1.5 hours), but alas, they only had one helmet. Being ingenius types, they bought a large watermelon (heaps cheaper than a helmet...), hollowed it out & fashioned the shell into a full-face. A quick spray with black paint & they were off. All went well until they arrived to find the relentless Queensland sun had essentially glued the melon to this guy's hair. They had to cut the watermelon skin off as much as possible & then he had to soak his head in a sink for a good half hour to get the rest off...
Okay, so that last one's probably complete crap, but a good story none-the-less

...If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?
