PixelVomit | Naughty or Nice?welcome to my blog !"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Hermann Wilhelm Göring Sunflowers Catching SunFiled Under (Horticulture, Photography) by Deltrice on 24-06-2008Tagged Under : Photography

Whilst touring Disney’s Land pavilion at EPCOT, I took the “Behind the Seeds” tour of the greenhouses. One of the more impressive of the plants being grown was this single tomato “tree” with tens of thousands of tomatoes growing on it. The guide did tell us that this particular plant came from seeds attained from China. And she told us the record at Disney was 36,000 tomatoes from one tree – but that was not the world record. That was held by a grower in China. These are grown with hydroponics, using a substrate for root growth, but being constantly fed mineral nutrient solutions, rather than depend on soil. The guide gave each of us on the tour a tomato to taste. They tasted like, well, like tomatoes.
Viagra makes flowers stand up straightFiled Under (Horticulture, LMAO) by Deltrice on 11-04-2008Tagged Under : garden, viagra
Viagra (sildenafil citrate) is good not only for treating male impotence. Israeli and Australian researchers have discovered that small concentrations of the drug dissolved in a vase of water can also double the shelf life of cut flowers, making them stand up straight for as long as a week beyond their natural life span. They have already tested Viagra on strawberries, legumes, roses, carnations, broccoli, and other perishables. In this latest research they found that 1 mg of the drug (compared with 50 mg in one pill taken by impotent men) in a solution was enough to prevent two vases of cut flowers from wilting for as much as a week longer than might be expected.
