BUG #1: Steve! Something horrible has happened!BUG #2: What is it, Bill?BUG #1: The watermellons! They're shooting lasers!BUG #2: Well, let's--Evil Killer Watermelon Plant: BWAH HA HA! FOOLS!*ZAP*Bug #1: (dead)Bug #2: (dead)Farmer Dave: Thank's super watermelon! Hey, what's that tentacle for?Watermelon Plant: Goodbye, Dave.*devour*

The guts of it is that a farmer was sued for patent infringement after his crop became contaminated with GM seed from neighbouring fields. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I heard about that one. I like to consider myself anti-lawsuit, but I do wonder how long it'll take such farmers to counter-sue on the grounds that they can no longer sell their products as non-GM. Judy

From The Red Green Show:"You hear a lot about spinach and soy
And which one makes the perfect supper
But when it comes to that I'll tell you boy
You can't beat peanut butter
Easy to cut and easy to chew
Never goes hard as a rock
It's the one and only food
So good it made Mr. Ed talk"

has anyone noticed how the phrase "Peanut butter by the SLICE!" sounds like a phrase used whenever you are surprised or what not?Personally, it makes me think "Spoon!"

I thought they used electrodes to make Mr. Ed talk?Or was that Willlllburrrr?
If life were meant to be fair,
we would never be thirsty and have to pee at the same time.[This message has been edited by Dusty668 (edited 07-23-2001).]
