AMSTERDAM (Reuters)-Scientists said on Monday they have come up with a cell phone cover that will grow into a sunflower when thrown away.

You'll be able to tell its a sunflower phone because it'll keep saying "Can you hear me now?"

You'll be able to tell its a sunflower phone because it'll keep saying "Can you hear me now?"

I wonder what eating those sunflower seeds will produce? Collect calls?

[ken5050]

Will baseball players be spitting out headsets in the dugout?..

[My2Cents]

Why?

[shubi]

That was my question. Why would anyone waste their time doing this?

[konaice]

Sure makes little sence to me. Why encourage
throwing something away that contains batterys
that should be recycled.

[agere_contra]

Because there is a significant (and demented) percentage of the population that will buy a degradeable Gaia phone.

[OneTimeLurker]

Ah the Dutch! You would think they would make one that would grow in to a tulip!

[TitansAFC]

"I've created a monkey with four asses!!!"

[My2Cents]

The phone flower can be fertilized with left-wing ideas.

[My2Cents]

I figured out the answer to the question why anyone would want to do this. It's the typical leftwing answer: "Because we can."

Just what we really need the mostest.
Now they need to make a sunflower that turns into a telephone.

Really wonder how much this costs and whos paying for it??

[ZinGirl]

dude...does it grow into one of these?...with a phone already in it?

[DannyTN]

Wouldn't it be more practical to make a sunflower that grows into a phone?

[Nuzcruizer]

The world is becoming more insane by the minute.

unless of couse, the owner ever openly discussed Danish Immigration problems... At which point the discarded phone morphs into a homicidal switch blade knife, stabbing and eventually slitting the throat of of the infidel.

I am surprised that they did not make one out of marijuana, like the van that Cheech and Chong had in "Up in Smoke".

[Atomicfever]

Enviromentally sound disposable items ... why spend $5 on something you can keep for 10 years when you can spend $25 on something that will last 2 months at most...

[marvlus]

Is it the cell phone or the cover of the cell phone that grows?

[funkywbr]

It's like towns that set up recycling when they have no recycler available and they just dump the crap at the dump.

They think it makes you FEEL better!
