My goodness, I have never heard of that one before Dex. Very amusing. Let's try this one. What is this plant? It is an annual climbing plant, growing to a height of 1–2 metres (3 ft 3 in–6 ft 7 in), where suitable support is available. In the wild plant, flowers are purple. Cultivated they are larger and come in many variable colors. If I am not mistaken, they are grown in GB and the US. Along with the name, pleaser tell me one of its countries of origin if you can - at a guess. Sweet pea... I don't know its country of origin though but am guessing some where of moderate climate... a friend has a wild one in purple and red .. some where south America possibly ? Yes mouse. I have always liked these little flowers but never planted them. native to Sicily, Cyprus, southern Italy and the Aegean Islands. Now it is yourl turn to post a Question of the day.

Pavlov's dog was the name of a famous experiment. Which animal added to the name Shrödinger's is also a famous experiment?

It's okay. Thank you, mouse. This is a Quantum Mechanics thing and I doubt if I should try to get into it anyway. Go for it Dex.

lol Rejoice.
There's an old American folk song where the singer tells his girl to send him a letter. Where does he tell her to send it in care of?
It was made famous by Woody Guthrie, Burl Ives and people like that.
