Some clues would help in identifying this plant. What PLANET did you find it on?????

I am in the plant business and I grow over a hundred varities of plants, many of which flower and fruit. But I have never seen anything like this.

Seriously, where does it grow? Let's start there and I'll check some references and attempt to I.D. it.

Yakat:Its taken from the Philippines. Not near any nuclear radiation or some sort.

Looks like a tomato to me.

I'm guessing near a nuclear power plant :-)

Oh!........What a smart person you are, and now you go to the "TOP" of the class for today.....

Actually it is a most unusual fruit and would love to see what it looks like inside. Maybe another photo......

It's a nice shot. By far, the best of any that I could find on the internet.

I wonder, what words did you use for this search?

Yeah, I'm wondering the same. I'm usually pretty good at googling myself but this one beat me.

What do you mean "now you go..."? I thought Roxanne was already there...

Well, I'm ashamed to admit that I seem to obsess about finding out what things are.

Here is how the search process took place.
I googled different combinations of these words:
Philippines, fruit, vine, wild, gourd, squash, plant.
I came upon this site and realized that it resembled plants called "solanum". I looked at all of "solanums" until I found it.
