Tomacco - it's real now!

[Lincoln]

For those of you who laughed as hard as I did about the Simpsons episode regarding the invention of Tomacco...

Ralph: This tastes like Grandma...
Chief Wiggum: Wait a minute, let me try that... you're right! This DOES taste like Grandma!

Funniest moment in a Simpsons episode ever:

Helicoptor pilot: We seem to have some extra weight onboard...
[passengers look at each other, cradling the last Tomacco plant]
A sheep, foaming at the mouth, bursts out of the back and bleets loudly and goes nuts, causing the helicopter to crash. I almost messed my pants laughing :p

Yes you gotta love the Simpsons, and the writers that make that show what it is.

Just read my sig for some wonderful Homer Quotes.

It is amazing that someone would try this, and possibly succeed. What a world.

wow, it has finally come true!

Can't believe someone would do something like this...but I guess some people have a lot of time on their hands.

Do you suppose the plant is sterile? I wouldn't be suprised that the only way to reproduce the plant is to cut stems and add root stimulant to get it to take root.

Sort of the same way when you cross a horse with a donkey and get a mule. A Horse has 32 chromosomes and a donkey has 30, when you get a mule, you get 31 chromosomes and as a result, the mule is sterile because you cannot duplicate and divide 1 chromosome properly.
