Did You Know?

Did you know bamboo can grow over 10 inches in a single day?



I must be part bamboo.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Lots of bamboo out in the deer woods, but haven't seen big bamboo there, mostly about the size of cane up to an inch in diameter.  My aunt's place has some 5 and 6" diameter bamboo "woods" and it's beautiful.  Probably been growing for awhile.  That's the only place I've seen it that big except for pictures.  How long does it take to get that size?  Anyone know?

Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence, fear, ignorance or stupidity, because there are millions more garden variety idiots walking around in the world than there are blackhearted Machiavellis.

Nah it's more like delusions can be fun but folks really shouldn't take them out in public where they can be ridiculed for the delusions they are.
