Sentience in a seed-pod

A friend told me (and it's probably crap) that George W. Bush has refused to retract a statement that Zimbabwe is a terrorist state. You know what this means, of course.

I've been to a place that's part of the axis of evil.

Yes, it was hard living for our intrepid explorer, and there was much work to be done if I was to survive the hardship of Harare. After delivering the plutonium required by immigration procedures, I donned a gas mask and walked through the bio-weapons testing facility to a waiting unmarked car with the engine running. I wasn't allowed in, however. Instead, I was forced to run in my underwear (tighty-whities, if you must know) behind the car while being flagellated by a mad monk on a crazed horse. For two weeks I laboured in a sweatshop the size of a dual convection microwave oven, breathing through a straw and sleeping standing up with my feet covered in excrement. On the bright side I did note a positive change in the foliage on my right branch - a few new leaves and buds.

Boy, I'm glad to be out of that hell hole! Zimbabweans: relax dudes. The US will not attack and depose your leader. Only oil producing countries must be democracies.
