Simon was so thrilled with his invention, that he contacted Daintree Frank via ham radio, and they had a long conversation about the possibilities inherent in a new species of dope. They even talked about copywriting the plant - if those big genetic engineering companies could copywrite corn, well, then maybe Simon and Frank could copywrite their new plant. the only thing was to give it the right name, one that would   bring it to the attention of the potential millions of customers that could be interested.

Simon was already visualising the houses he would own in Hawaii, Alberta and Maleny. And the extensive influence he could wield over politicians - this, thought Simon, was his ticket to finally solving the Middle East crisis.

Martin Gibson and CarolC were not so sure, but they figured anything was worth a try.
