The lions are nude, if that helps…

Not NASA, Nasa.

Struggling to spell, read, or write can all be signs of dyslexia…

This answered nothing… Could you explicitly state what a mouth has to do with dyslexia?

The irony. :-|

I was thinking the same thing. This is a fine example of the exception to the rule that you should not place the horizon in the middle of the frame.

…our word “diamond” comes from adamant…

As does our word, “adamant”. 🙂

I hope you have named these forks after Muppets.

From left to right, they are clear to me as: Robin the Frog, Kermit, Bunsen Honeydew, and Beaker.

A reminder to all that the M stands for Master.

(Yes, I know it’s used in the “mastery” sense, but just roll with the analogy!)

Sounds like that disappointment has you pretty steamed.

Article ends with:

There was no independent verification of the surgeon’s claims.

The internet tells me that “plant growth requirements” are air, water, nutrients, space, and light.

Let’s imagine. The growing plant was found in a lung. It must have:

Air. Plants ingest carbon dioxide, exude oxygen. Both gasses are present in our own respiration. So that checks out.

Water. I guess water was leeched from the lungs’ blood supply, since we’re all just bags of mostly water.

Nutrients. See water, above. If the mamallian reproduction system can supply a growing embryo with required nutrients, why not those required by a fir sapling? Sure, they’re different requirements, but press on.

Space. Assuming that no other competing species of plant is growing in the lung, this isn’t a problematic issue.

Light. Ah, well. Photosynthesis requires sunlight, and I am reminded of a joke attributed to Groucho Marx, Abraham Lincoln, Nicola Tesla, and Albert Einstein:

Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read, or to cultivate horticulture.

I am as dubious of this fir sapling story as my quoted joke’s provenance.

Oh my god, thank you! It would never have occurred to me that that could be the reason for this.

What an oversight.
