Easy come, easy grow
… Sexual reproduction in plants is in many ways analogous to human biology. “In order to find its path to the ovule and the egg cell, the pollen tube has to invade a series of female tissues in the receptive flower,” Geitmann [of the University of Montreal] explained. “The male and the female organs continuously communicate during the process. The female aids the process by lubricating the path, but the male exerts significant force to overcome any residual resistance.” The pollen tube must penetrate through a central canal that connects the stigma, or pollen landing platform, to the ovary, the organ that houses the ovules. Upon reaching the ovary, it then passes onto the internal surface of the placenta, finds and enters the opening in the ovule, and finally bursts open when connecting with the egg cell, enabling its fertilization by one of the two sperm cells it delivers. The other sperm cell fertilizes another cell of the female gametophyte to give rise to a tissue that nourishes the growing embryo…

Ennis Del Mar: Well why don’t you? Why don’t you just let me be, huh? Because of you, Jack, that I’m like this. I’m nothing… and nowhere. Get the fuck off me!
Jack Twist: Sorry… it’s all right. Damn you, Ennis!
Ennis Del Mar: I can’t stand it anymore, Jack…

Lottery winner puts $1-million toward effort to legalize marijuana
Bob Erb has been playing the lottery since he was a young pothead in the 1970s, smoking 15 joints a day. Today, Mr. Erb is still crushing 15 joints a day — except now he’s smoking them as a multi-millionaire. The 60-year-old Terrace, B.C., farmer and grandfather won a $25-million jackpot last November and promptly began doling money out to friends, family, charity and hard luck cases. Perhaps the biggest recipient, however, has been a cause very close to his heart: the legalization of marijuana. Mr. Erb has dropped $1-million for the effort, and is probably now the biggest financial backer of 420 Day, the annual pot-fuelled haze of a protest this Saturday. He spoke with the Post’s Sarah Boesveld Thursday about his high life and plans for bringing pot legalization to national attention. (BCLC)My kinda dude.
Erb likes his herb
Dove hired a forensic artist to draw how women see themselves versus how others see them - the results are moving.

The future is no promise land which only favored heroes attain, it’s something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

I dunno who’s worse, the people obsessed with fitting in or the people obsessed with being different.

Yep.
Scanning electron micrographs of diatoms, microscopic algae that form the base of the food chain and produce 20% of Earth’s oxygen.
The beautiful base of the pyramid of biology, feeding our air, land and life.
And then I wonder how I have any friends at all…
