I wish my plants would learn how to scream “Get out of the yard!!!” to the deer and rabbits and Japanese beetles and moles, etc.

Maybe they are asking a cow to poop on them for something to eat?

Yes, I was aware of where the cautionary “timber” cames from. I was just snickering at the genius types who published that cockamamie story.

In 1972 I was showing a newspaper clipping of this to guys in the army.

Same year, I was reading about the experiments in extra-sensory perception by botanist J.B. Rhine, in which he attached electrodes to plants and had a congregation pray for them, and watched the plants' alpha wave reactions on "lie detector" equipment. He also experimented with plants just before someone approached them with scissors or loppers intending to prune them, and they reacted with panic. Same with brine shrimp just before they were to be dumped into boiling water. He was at Duke University for a long while. But his work and methodology are disputed.
