First, love the quote on your blog. How true. knowledge and wisdom seem to posess a need to be put in separate buckets. Knowledge does not always equal commonsense. =)
Second, I was thinking of this the other day. Why the fascination with carnivourous plants? I can't seem to answer that question for myself. Any thoughts as to why this is?
Steve asked: Why the fascination with carnivourous plants?
My simple answer is that carnivorous plants are more like animals; they "eat", some of them move. Although the Phactor admits to a certain bias, among our biology students those interested in plants generally are quieter, more thoughtful, and have more patience. Others get the most excited over the more animally plants.
