| 715505 | 2008-10-28 23:59:00 | Was that kid's name Bob? No, it was on the news a few years back. They were hydroponic lettuces. I think he ended up making a business selling them. Surely someone must remember it. |

| 715506 | 2008-10-29 00:41:00 | It's not uncanny. However, What happened to all the plants that they used to grow for the half- pound tins? Were they put out to pasture? Thanks for your punny answer. :thumbs: The best reply, followed closely by: Perhaps they're grown IN the tin.... That never occurred to me. So it is, as Sam m has said, genetic engineering. That now poses a new problem. If they are grown in the tin, does that mean that they are grown with tin opener attached? Otherwise, how does one open the tin? |

| 715508 | 2008-10-29 01:17:00 | The opener must not be attached or even left unattended lest the pineapple escapes. Even metric pineapples are a bit Houdini-ish if left in the dark unobserved. Check in your recycling bin for mass escape evidence. |
