Why pineapples have its name; is Jeff Meville really Bruce Lee's son?! written on Wednesday, November 02, 2005 by Mysteries/Conspiracies Poster Submitted by: Kerri Price My mystery is in 2 parts. 1) Why is a pineapple named a pineapple if it is not from a pine tree, and not an apple? 2) Is Jeff Meville Bruce Lee's son? If so, why is he so geeky? The conclusion: Okay, first off, I'd like to remind everyone that mysteries come in one at a time, please! And now, a pineapple is called such because it is a full grown pine-CONE. So, it's matured into an apple. And, Jeff Meville is Bruce Lee's son because Jeff has a concentration problem. As a result of his concentration problem, he is inherently geeky.
