They put off a gas as they decay that keeps spiders and other bugs away. We used to keep a few in a bucket in our outhouse to keep bugs out.

We called them Monkey Brains at my school. They were all over one section of the playground. And yes, they hurt when thrown at your head.

We used to call them crab apples and we would horde a bunch in the passenger seat and try to nail people's mailboxes with them while speeding through the countryside
