heres a bunch of really insightful, fascinating informations about plant like a some fruit and veggie stuff....check it out, its worht the read
-fastest growing plant on earth: bamboo, which can grow as much as 3 feet a day -about 45% of all perscription drugs contain ingredients originating in the rain forest -the bark of a giant sequoia can be up to 2 feet thick -if a plant is native to the arctic circle, it doesnt have thorns -the potato and tomato are more closely related than a potato and sweet potato -onions are members of the lily family -herbicide use has created at least 48 "super weeds" that are resistant to chemicals -cocoanut shells can absorb more impact than most crash helmets -the pineablle is neither a pine nor an apple. its actually a very big berry(lol) -75% of trees in Austrailia are eucalyptus( no wonder there are so many koala's! lol)
-of the 80,000 known species of plants, only 50% are cultivated regularly -a typical redwood tree's roots are only 5-6 feet deep-and spread out over an acre -bushes growing in Death Valley can have roots reaching 100 feet down for water -plants, like people, run fevers when they're sick -the kernel inside a peach IS POISONOUS! -75% of the worlds oxygen supply is produced by marine plants (CRAZY!) -the saguaro cactus doesn't grow its first arm until its at least 75 years old -LARGEST LIVING THING ON EARTH: an underground mushroom in oregon, 3.5 miles long!
-the flowers of Africa's boabab tree open only at night, to be pollinated by bats -a species of fern contain the most chromosomes of all living things-630 pairs -the VENUS FLYTRAP only grows wild in one place: a 100-mile stretch of Carolina swamp -Artichokes are flowers -peaches used to be knows as persian apples -peanuts are one of the ingredients used to make dynamite (lol) -mushroom share a common ancestry with insects, not plants -oldest vegi known to humans: the pea
-poison oak/or ivy are not oaks or iveys. They are members of the cashew family -THE THICKEST TREE ON EARTH: El Tule, a cypress in Mexico, has a girth of 138 feet! -(WTF) half of the genes in a banana are the same as in a human -if you plant a bamboo today, it may not sprout flower and produce seeds for 100 years -a tree planted near a streetlight will keep its leaves longer into the fall than other leaves -a single mushroom can produce as many as 40 million spores in an hour -in the densest jungle, only 1% of sunlight ever reaches the floor
this was my favorite one -85% of all the worlds plant life is in the ocean
i just had a wierd thought....how wierd would it look if you took all the organisms out of the ocean, and see how much space they take up in the water?
SOOOOO if you read this far, i admire your persistant reading and you have yourself to thank. andddd i think its safe to say that you have definietely boosted your knowledge about this worlds plant life!

o wow. fine, you ass whipes don't have to believe me, i could give a fuck about that. im sooo sorry i mispelled a word or two such as 'pineapple'. besides the fact there are no capitals or periods, there are barely any grammer mistakes in here you guys are just petty as fuck. i bring forth all this incredibly fascinating information about this world and all you guys have to say is, that. you search for nothing BUT the negative part of the post
i can see you guys view the mid-filled glass of water as half empty, eh? figures...
i swear, some people

i thought kudzu grew faster than bamboo.
-------------------- Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time TRANSCEND

Some was interesting, some wasn't.
My point is if you were sitting in a 400+ level college Philosophy class and your teacher emails you with "hey d00dz, welcum to thinking class lol, u try hard and ill totally give you a leet grade. ttyl." you're telling me you'd take the guy seriously?
Information is easier to absorb and far more believable when presented in a professional (Or at least a clearly communicated) way.

true not to provoke an argument but the example you gave is completely exaggerated and isnt of the sort of the original poster's errors. unless he edited it, the errors seem pretty trivial and easy to over look to me at least...didnt really prevent me from absorbing what information was there
anyways it doesn't really matter either way
