I'm re-reading The Secret Life of Plants. It's really cool - all about experiments into how sentient vs non-sentitent plant life is. How/why plants do better when people talk to them. How plants react when other life forms, including human life, are injured or killed, and about plants being reliable lie detector machines. Lots of scientific stuff, which is why I skimmed it before and am now reading it more in depth.

The tv show Myth Busters did a bit about talking to plants.  Turns out playing thrash metal music is actually the best thing you can do for them.   :shock:

Yeah, this book mentions that plants like music. Different species like different tunes.

Lemme think . . . I believe it was the episode where they were looking into whether shooting a window on a plane would cause explosive pressure changes.

But I could be wrong about that.

I'm reading the Iliad again.  I dont have to, but because so much of Greek poetry makes reference to it, a refresher course might be a good idea.
