Double Flee A

Do plants act like computers?: Leaves appear to regulate their 'breathing' by conducting simple calculations. Plants got your emergent computation covered. Didn't see THAT coming. Yes I did. Props to Minsky for shooting me down on "emergent". Mot du jour? Copout? Perhaps, but at least it's quasi-comprehensible, which is what sells the research grants, so it'll do, right, Marv? Let's hear it for enthusiasm! I bet you it's crossed Minsky's mind that he might should have informed the late Mrs. Joan Kroc about the fun new field of science.

A note from dinner with the penny gourmet: put some tobasco in your sour cream, and as Brak put it, you're full of joy.
