Revenge of the trees?
My family had this ongoing joke, they said, if I swallowed watermelon seeds(or any other fruit seeds) they'd grow into plants inside my belly.Here, this really happened to a guy,but it was a tree.They even have a video of it.

The amazing 'discovery' was apparently made when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a serious tumour.

"I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery."

Before removing part of the man's lung, the surgeon investigated the tissue.

"I thought I was hallucinating," said Mr Kamashev. "I asked my assistant to have a look: 'Come and see this – we've got a fir tree here'. He nodded in shock. I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things."

1. And in an article from same site.... the name "Dick Armey" comes
to mind.... geez.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/1487542/Russian-surgeons-grow-penis-on-mans-forearm.html

In an 11-hour operation, plastic surgeons in Moscow removed the 28-year-old's undersized penis and stitched it on to his left forearm, where they grafted on additional flesh and tissue taken from his inner arm. The newly enlarged organ, which had grown from less than 2ins to nearly 7ins, was then reattached to his groin.

4. now we are going to see 10 commercials an hour for this new penis enlargement
technique. Baldness cures, penis enlargement, diabetes and weight loss = 95% of commercials I swear.

2. I love how that lady botanist claims that it's impossible
when it's obviously QUITE possible, as is evidenced by the video.

3. Nature strikes back
One little tree dies for the cause of fir trees everywhere.
Perhaps he should have returned it to the soil as a gesture of peace between man and nature.
