It’s weird to me that flowering plants appeared so recently.
Of course, 160 million years ago isn’t that recent. But for most of the period when vascular plants have existed, there were no flowers, and in particular, there was no grass. What would the world look like with no grass?
Earth is 4.54 billion years old, so it’s only had flowering plants for 3.5% of its lifetime. Strange to think about.
a little known fact about me is that as well as swords and girls, i love flowers
and you know whats a Really Good Flower?
the gladiolus it literally means sword and theyre lilies which are lesbian flowers
theres a flower out there for everyone another big fave of mine are laurestina which mean ‘ill die if you dont pay attention to me’ like big mood or what right
The wooden Moais are a recurrent souvenir in some polynesian islands and I think it would be funny if Nosepass and Probopass had a Grass-type forms for this reason. On the other hand, I think they are the best options to make a possible Alolan-Tiki form because Moais and Tikis are both polynesian statues.
Personally I would prefer that Probopass was Grass/Steel-type, but this design seems pure Grass-type.
I forgot upload this in Tumblr, but it was uploaded in my Twitter few days ago.
It’s ability could be a “tiki curse” kind of deal that works like a reverse battle and turns all it’s type’s weaknesses into resistances and resistances into weaknesses . _.
No ok but I actually met him. Several of my colleagues and students were hired to do some assessments for several manmade and natural ponds on his property. He wanted to maintain them with several different fish populations so that kids nearby could fish and have a good time.
While we were working he rode up in his four wheeler with a terrified look on his face. I never thought I would see a former football player on the verge of tears, but boy howdy he nearly was. Several of us stop what we were doing and go over to see what was up.
“I was running the tractor through the field and almost hit a fawn.” He says.
Now, for reference, it’s pretty common to have farmers run over and kill fawns. The defense mechanism of fawns when they are young is to lay down low and not move…which obviously isn’t great for when there’s a tractor. It happens all the time, but it can be pretty bloody. It’s not a pretty sight.
So, thinking that maybe such a gory scene unnerved him and that we may have to dispose of the body, I say “Mr. Brown, is the fawn still alive?”
He says “Yes, I took it to the barn…but I’m afraid the mom won’t take it back because it has human scent on it.”
The myth about “human scent” is a common one, but it’s just that…a myth. But still, this guy was absolutely terrified that this little deer was going to live the first few weeks of its life without a parent. He was distraught.
Luckily my professor/boss was like “Don’t worry Mr. Brown, if you return the fawn relatively close to the spot that you found it, the mother will come back. The human scent thing is just a myth. The fawn will be alright, just be sure to keep the barn quiet so that the fawn doesn’t panic.”
Mr. Brown’s face lit up and he let out a sigh of relief. “Thank God” he said “I was so worried.”
And that’s the story of how I met the sweetest man ever: Mr. Jason Brown.
Established in 2005 by the Duchess of Northumberland. The garden contains over 100 deadly and hallucinogenic plants.
’I wondered why so many gardens around the world focused on the healing power of plants rather than their ability to kill… I felt that most children I knew would be more interested in hearing how a plant killed, how long it would take you to die if you ate it and how gruesome and painful the death might be.’
Trivia: That puppet was SO large that it moved slow as dirt. That means, every actor had to act in slow motion while around the puppet. This included the musical segments.
