The leaves of the  Rhubarb plant are highly toxic.

FRUIT!

Plums are deadly for your sanitary installation when you've eaten to much!

I think the leaves of the Tomato are poisonous too. Like the potato they belong to the Nightshade family of plants.

The Castor bean which is pressed to make ..er...well..castor oil, is not so innocent as you might at first think..it is the source of the deadly RICIN toxin which is probably undetectable in the body and is famous ..or infamous...... for the "umbrella murder" ... Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov was killed by poison dart filled with ricin and fired from an umbrella in London .......nasty......commoner :o

The common bannana.  It can be used as a weapon in bank raids and if you throw it away it will act like a boomerang and hit you in the head.

I don't imagine being hit on the head by a giant pumpkin falling from a great height would do you much good. :o :D

Not sure if there's any truth in it but I once read that if you dropped a pea from the top of the Eiffel Tower it would go straight through someone's skull if they were unlucky enough to be standing at ground level beneath it. Moral: Be very careful when visiting the Eiffel Tower or someone might pee pea on you from a great height. ::) ;)

Fruit...

Falling coconuts kill more people than sharks do. You are also more probable to slip on a green grape than a banana peel.

As absolutely hilarious as that is, what I find funnier is the thought of some yahoo on this site standing in his pajamas in the kitchen tonight while he tries it.
Great edit, Bob.

How about tobacco, the demon weed... take it from an addict, that stuff's worth avoiding.
Sorry; got serious for a minute there. Um... well, Brussel sprouts frighten me.  Like cabbages from Dr. Cyclops' garden...

Have you ever been on the business end of a carrot?  Those things can hurt!
