Ever Feel Like a Blogging Vegetable?

You know? Depressed by the election results. Feeling a little WILTED?

Well now you're not alone.

A plant that blogs has become a minor celebrity in blogging-mad Japan.

The pot plant - a hoya kerii, more commonly known as a 'sweetheart plant' - has been wired with sensors which measure bio-electrical signals and then translates them in to Japanese.

"Today was a sunny day and I was able to sunbathe a lot. I had quite a bit of fun today," reads one of its typical entries.



Hmmmm....wouldn't it be EXCELLENT if all we needed to inspire us was a sun lamp and a watering can?

And BTW if we lefty bloggers are like roses and lilies, and rutabagas?

Does that mean the Blogging Tories are like stinkweed, poison ivy....

Or this nasty plant?



Stephen? Stephen TAYLOR?

Feed me. FEED me !!! Bring me the head of DION !!!!

Yikes. How about Mike Duffy's porky BUTTOCKS? Eh?

I mean where's a Roto-Rooter when you NEED one?

AAAAARGH !!!!!

P.S. I must admit that when I first heard that the Japanese had a blogging POT plant I was even MORE excited.

"What a grooooooovy day. Turn up the sun baby. Hey YOU !!!!! Keep your hands off my BUDS !!!!!!"

But I guess you can't have EVERYTHING...
