Yesterday morning, my hubby went into the bathroom and saw something green poking out of the sink drain. Apparently, a corn kernel (probably from the mouse feed I use - I wash their food bowls in that sink - but I swear I don't ever remember any leftover corn going down!) had lodged in the drain, germinated hydroponically, and actually started growing:
What's interesting, at least for me, is having done a lecture section and a lab on plant reproduction and growth in Biology this semester and then finding something like this, out of nowhere. An amazing testament to the tenacity and adaptive ability of life in general, don't you think?

Way cool! Alien growth! Excellent use of the title, by the way. I read that story about 25 years ago.
Love ya',

Thank the gods...I knew if anyone would pick up on the title, you would!
