I read something similar to this years ago in a book titled:"The Secret Life Of Plants." In that book, this was called 'the Baxter effect' after the guy who did the test.

Now that we have proven that plants are capable of suffering, does this mean that vegetarians are now going to have to starve to death?

[Mulder]

And they still want us to believe that a fetus doesn't feel any pain?

[Cool Guy]

Bump :)

[PoorMuttly]

This man has WAY too much time on his hands.

Wanna really hear a scream...wire up a donut!

[Free the USA]

To claim that plants react to stress is true but to translate that as a scream or recognition of pain is a distortion.

Scientists Can Make Plants Scream

I guess they've never heard a Led Zep bootleg.

[mlocher]

you know, i saw the professor have a lobster talk to the cucumber...

[kitkat]

He said: "The orchid cannot run away, so this is her way of complaining about such mean treatment."

Why do I see this professor with a very evil, satisfied smirk on his face when he says this?

[k2blader]

It'd be interesting to see how much this "scientist" gets paid to measure plant flatus.

He would be a German!

[Wissa]

Now what? The antiwar kooks are gonna be showing pictures of the vegetation damaged by the bombing in Afghanistan?

[Syncro]

If there are any bananas in the basket, they will quickly turn brown from it

Man this is soooo infruitmane...

I mean, bananas turning brown from this type of mistreatment...

[Timesink]

If these plants are "screaming" because this guy can measure a chemical reaction on a leaf, then I'm committing a Holocaust every time I fart.

[gunnut]

I am forming a new organization PETP (People for the Ethical Treatment of Plants). I consider myself a vegetable rights activist.

[A CA Guy]

Put a picture of Hillary in front of them and they'll uproot themselves and commit suicide as well.

[sneakypete]

I'd like to get some audio tapes of this to send to PETA. Maybe this would convince those wacko's to starve themselves to death. Or at least attack vegtable stands.

BTW,I've always pictured the blades of grass I cut screaming in pain as I run over them with my lawnmower.

[Jhoffa_]

Bwahahaha..

I can't wait to hear PETA's reaction to this.

[Roebucks]

It's all the Vegans fault. The mean, self centered indulgers in plant eating should feel real guilty. Moo.

[Old Student]

I can hear this guy saying "Ve haf vays to make you Tok!"
