Ok, I think it's about time to raise the level of discourse in this newsgrope by talking about interesting stuff from the world of nature.
Has anyone heard of the rare plant native to Bungholiostan called the "corpse flower"? It's called that because it only flowers once every eleventeen years, and when it blooms the flower weighs as much as Raymond Burr and it smells like rotting flesh! Read more here:

Why am I bringing this up? Anyone?
Well, I live in Connecticut, and the UConn greenhouse has a corpse flower that is getting ready to bloom any day now!! It's already starting to smell horrible, but it will be way worse when it actually opens. I'm watching the website every day religiously, and as soon as it's time I'm going to head down there to check it out for myself.
A flower that smells like dead people... should be pretty cool. I've heard that people sometimes pass out from the stench. Plus, it looks like a huge schlong. The scientific name is uh, titanium phallus, or something. How cool is that??
