The Greener Side

It really must suck to be grass. At this very moment, a billion dollar industry is gearing up to see people millions of dollars worth of stuff to torture grass. There is fertilizer, that combined with the rain and warming rays of the spring sun help you to grow big and strong.
Then the games start. After grass gets the royal treatment for a few weeks, the lawn-mower makes an appearance, loudly decapitating you and all your friends.
Green thumbs pull at the dirt, and bare feet trample. The weed whacker circles like a shark. 
And after all this torture, everything grass goes through…the neighbor’s yard always looks better.

  2. I recently read that the smell given off from the grass after you mow it is a distress signal. I thought it was very interesting. Here is the article if you are interested: http://io9.com/5623112/the-smell-of-freshly+cut-grass-is-actually-a-plant-distress-call
