Weird stuff seems to go with major comets. When a comet appeared in A.D. 60, the people of Rome assumed it meant the impending death of their still new emperor, Nero. He responded by exiling a potential rival. When another comet turned up just 4 years later, ancient historians say he ordered the execution of dozens of nobles. It is said that Moctezuma II saw a comet in 1517 that foreshadowed the downfall of Aztec empire. In 1910, a wave of hysteria swept over the United States amid reports that Earth was about to pass through Halley's tail.

Parsley-monsters have lots of arms, but no thumbs. Yet.

And the Kudzu, too. “It covered the House of Usher overnight!”
Lugustrum (or ligustrum) is poisonous to horses, according to Wikipedia, and it’s banned from New Zealand.

...it’s banned from New Zealand.Probably so the Hobbits don't have to worry about it eating them alive. Or strangling them in their burrows.
