Now THAT's interesting!

National Geographic has once again come to the fore with an interesting comment.

Have a look at http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/03/070305-split-water.html

I can well imagine the time when human beings will be more aligned with plants and the way that they can convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.

Indeed the only thing that frightens me is whether plants that have been doing this neat trick for longer than humans have been alive, will finally get the idea that they don't need humans any longer and help to turn all of us into fertilizer!

While we are on the subject of THAT's interesting - Have a look at LOESS soil. Saw some really fascinating things about this subject the other day when there was a story about China and how productive their soil is. The explanation for the Yellow River lies in Loess as does some of the productivity of some other similar soil deposits in other countries as well. Simply fascinating!
