https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/botany/plants-feel-pain.htm The smell we associate with freshly cut grass is actually a chemical distress call, one used by plants to beg nearby critters to save them from attack (usually it's an affront by insects, but in this case, it's lawnmower blades). After all, when danger strikes -- whether it's landscaping equipment or a hungry caterpillar -- plants can't lift their roots and run. They must fight where they stand. |

What's next? The smell of freshly fallen rain being a call for help from the ground that it's drowning? |

Mind you America is just as bad as here but with a big difference - There they massacre their kids in schools Not just the schools, the insanity is a fairly successful attempt to perfect Darwinian evolution. |

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom is the supreme court in all matters under English and Welsh law, Northern Ireland law and Scottish civil law. |

Not much cop when the system itself failsThe Supreme Court is the final court of appeal in the UK for civil cases, and for criminal cases from England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It hears cases of the greatest public or constitutional importance affecting the whole population. |

Was at my cousins earlier and saw this in the local rag. Accrington Observer - Brexit a 'major risk' to Hyndburn business - Labour council leaders warn Last little bit; Speaking at a council budget meeting, he said: “While Theresa May and the rest of the cabinet argue long into the night on how to get out of the mess the Conservative Party are in, we are left here to make the best guess from a list of bad options. Considering that this was an area that voted leave, can't help thinking that if there is a 2nd vote on Brexit that many might change their minds. |

Sheesh! Ain't progress a b*tch. "As the fire officer could not get through on the phone to the police force duty officer, the response of the fire service was "brought to the point of paralysis" to the "immense frustration on the firefighters' faces"." Confusion |
