Have you read Huxleys "Brave New World"?

I can't stop thinking about the "conditioning part" reading this article....

I guess that test swag they sent us, the potted weeds that I planted in the team room, must have been upsetting. Belated apologies. :) Luckily, it died nearly as quickly as it grew.

lol. As long as I don't have to water the thing (or have it on my desk), I'm okay =D That was a very, very cool weed though, how much it grew overnight.

Unless the plant is from the "Little Shop of Horrors" there should be no need to be afraid, well or some kind of poisonous fruit, but thats usually in the Jungle. Best way to look at it is if the plants weren't here, we wouldn't be here. Plants are sacred, embrace them!

Regarding your Botanophobia: Have you read Amy Stewart's "Wicked Plants: The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother and Other Botanical Atrocities"?

He does seem interesting, but I misread the story the first time through and thought it said something about watering the plants without turning off the electricity and without using a water hose....

Im sorry, this is totally sad, plants are awesome, and help ground us folk who are near electronics all the time. You probably stress the plants out with your fear, which is then returned back to you.

Odd I thought I'd gone to a technical site! Why is a link to this center stage when I go to msdn.microsoft.com?

Hmmm... Are you sure electricity was involved?

Sounds like Uncle Jimmy was just growing pot, and your folks wanted to make sure you stayed away from it...

now that would make sense, but sadly (sadly for me that is), that's wasn't the case.
