I agree that we have a living planet, Rap...and I am quite open to the idea that rocks and other apparently static objects in Nature have a form of life force present inside them...it may exist in everything right down to the atomic level.

But I figured that was just too esoteric for most of the people here, so I didn't bother bringing it up.

I think Bobert's patch would be quite happy and pleased when he watered them, gnu...if it's H2O that you're talking about.
