Not at all. I hate seeing nice trees cut down as well.

I would guess they took it down because of the HUGE crack in a large branch that you can see at the start of the video.....oh...I just read the description where they explain EXACTLY why they took it down, it was dropping branches after a lightning strike, almost hitting someone. That likely means the trunk was also weakened, and it was certainly close enough to take out that house.

I can relate. I (sadly) took down a 30-40 meter Douglas Fir tree in my yard a few years back. It's still painful to think about. My tree had grown too tall, and had a weakened root system because it was growing sideways out of a small hill, and had massive gopher activity all around it. All the surrounding trees on other properties were cut well before we moved here, so it was also exposed to full wind. I was terrified that it was going to come down through my bedroom and kill the wife and myself, or through a neighbors house, so we had it cut. I've spent the nearly 3 years since then digging out the root ball (which WAS as weakened as I had thought) and turning the hole into a large pond. I still hate that we had to kill the tree, but it was a safety issue. At least I have firewood for years to come, and a pond.

While he was alive, my Jack Russell feared no cat. I have pictures of a cat's claw sticking out of the top of his nose after he chased the cat 7 feet up a small fir tree.

Or the story of a guy(?) eating a watermelon seed that grew.

Some how, this reminds me of Harold the tree man in Fallout 3.

That was Fallout 2, unless he made a re-appearance in Fallout 3 that I'm not aware of.


He did.

I've been trying to do this for years with cannabis, then some guy just breaths in a fir tree on accident and has a full on plant growing in him. FUCK.

Obligatory Yakov Smirnoff comment about "In Soviet Russia..." inserted here.


Yeah, that was on my mind, but I'm having trouble coming up with it...

... how about: in Soviet Russia, plant eat you!

Wow that API is pretty slick. With like 20 seconds of regex text editting I was able to grab the last 100 pages accessed. I could even grep for /search/ or whatever.

Doctors find large Man growing around Fir Tree

>> ^yourhydra:
yeah, how can anything that uses light as its source of energy grow in a pitch black lung? not to mention needing nutrients from soil and water.


In order to just START to grow, a plant needs no light. The seed can germinate in pitch darkness. However, the image they showed of the needles and such is unbelieveable entirely. The needles were huge compared to the size of the entire organism. WTF. Evergreens don't grow full-sized needles when they are sprouts in my experience. Someone correct me.
