A miniature watermelon?

Yesterday I discovered a curiosity that appears to be a miniature watermelon!  A short google search brought me to this website, which really discusses the research that the University of California has done more than the actual melons themselves.  It seems that the tiny melons pictured on that page are seedless hybrids.

My discovery however, clearly had seeds.  And I don't know about you, but those seeds sure look like mature seeds to me.  The melon was much too ripe (almost to the point of rot) for me to taste it.  It smelled very sweet, with that icky, beyond-its-prime over-sweet smell that rotten fruit can have.  Needless to say, I wasn't brave enough to even lick it, so we will all just have to wonder about the flavor.  But since it looks like a watermelon, and smelled like a watermelon, I'm going to guess that it tasted like watermelon (yeah, I know, I'm a genius).  

You better believe, I'm saving these seeds.  Next spring, I will try to sprout them and see what grows!

Are you familiar with this type of watermelon (the seeded sort in particular)?  I welcome any information about it that you have to share!
