'I'm stuffed! I'm going to burst!' The phrases that we say when we are uncomfortably full... possibly because we couldn't resist the great food that was available...we feel like we are about to explode.

Rimon - the fruit that appears stuffed with seeds, bursting with goodness... (Fun fact of the day - Rimon is a hand grenade in Modern Hebrew).

What is the idea of the song expressed by the stuffed pomegranate?

Fyi...a paper by a non-Jewish doctoral student of computer science at Columbia University. He shows that pomegranates from six test countries have on average 613 seeds. Curious.
