I heard about that lung-grown fir tree from 'reputable' sources, too. My question is: don't they need, you know, light? To like photosynthesize n E36 M3? And someplace to root, so as to absorb nutrients and what have you?

My FIL grew up on a farm in Nebraska, decided he needed a change and enlisted in the Army. Gets sent to Korea, while there wakes up one night with his pillow covered in blood. Deciding that is not a good thing he goes to the TMC and the DOC pulls out a wheat kernal that had sprouted.

Be careful out there.

to sprout, all they need is warmth and moisture, the seeds carry nutrients that lets it make its way to the light. THEN they need light

I suddenly feel quite a bit of concern regarding the possibility of foreign objects in my lungs. I'm almost positive there have been seeds in there at one time or another...

Does it freaking matter?

I have enough problems with the things that are supposed to be in, on, or about my body.

The guy who hydroseeded my lawn showed me the inside of the tank. There was grass growing down from the ceiling.

I can't believe I forgot to say where the wheat was. It was in his ear.
