What The...??? O.o

Very unusual looking tomato on my Bonnie Original. It has a growth that makes the tomato look like it has a horn. Can anyone tell me what is going on with my tomato that made it do this? I just hope that after many years of us eating the tomatoes, that they are not finally rising up and growing horns and fangs to take revenge on us!!! O.o

Maybe if you checked its DNA you'll find that it has dinosaur similarities and has ancestors that roamed the world millions of years ago, wreaking havoc and terror... But, then again, maybe not! Ha! It does look rather odd!!!

I think I read that it happens to approximately one out of every 1,000 tomato plants. I will probably post another picture once it is done ripening (which it's almost there).

I guess when I hit around a 1000 plants then I will get one as well LOL. Can't wait!
