   I heard about an experiment where some plants were placed in a room.  One   
   of the doctors went into the room, picked up a plant, yanked it out of its   
   pot, threw it on the ground and stomped all over it.  The electromagnetic   
   activity of the plants were measured and they were all going crazy.  The   
   guy who had murdered the potted plant left the room and the electromagnetic   
   activity returned to normal levels.   
      
   Some other people came into the room and the electromagnetic activity   
   remained normal.  The guy who had murdered the potted plant came back into   
   the room, and the plants went crazy again.   
      
   So... Does this mean your rohodendron has a soul?  You be the judge.  But   
   if they do, it makes me cringe every time I hear someone mowing their lawn.   
   But then again, my mom said one time that she could hear the grass laughing   
   at her as it grew, bringing the day she'd have to mow closer and closer.   
   So if the grass was antagonizing my mom, then maybe it deserved to be run   
   over by a lawn mower.
