#1 I'm convinced kudzu plans to take over the world, though crabgrass has similar plans that may lead to conflict...

Nah. They'll just divide the earth up into forests and open space.

#4 Research in 60s&70s showed plants trying to move away from approaching knife blades,and that when cut they emitted a detectable sound that was only made when plant was "hurt". I used to confuse the h*** out of pushy vegitarians who argued that vegitarianism was morally superior. Veggies who are so because they believe going meatless is healthier I have no problem w/(more meat for me!;)). But the morally superior lifestyle veggies used to annoy me no end. Somehow,since 9/11,they've fallen far down the list of the most annoying people yet to do us all a favor and drive off a cliff.

#5 Stephen-I smiled when I read what you wrote. Whatever are vegetarians going to do when they find out that eating plants might have more in common with eating animals than they thought?
