Are you out of your gourd? What does that mean, anyway?

A mini gourd engraved with tiny Chinese characters is pictured in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province. The common gourd, with the actual size of a table tennis ball, has changed its appearance after 240 ancient Chinese poems with around 5,000 characters are engraved on it by Ruan Wenhui, a master in Chinese handicrafts industry, through three-month-long elaboration, Xinhua news agency said.
