Funny, odd but not dangerous so it's ok.

If everybody was a practicing Buddhist this planet would be a lovely place to live. Unfortunately they are few and far in between.

Is she going commercial, where do I get some?

No, they would just find other things to have wars over. Sorry.

I don't think you understood what I said. A practicing Buddhist (one who strives towards enlightenment) does not pine after anything much, you have to desire power, wealth, sex etc to make your mind go after things. It was an if statement, it's not gonna happen any time in the not so near future. I was just day dreaming aloud, that's all.

I love this post, it shows how most people grow, within the shell they are born in to.

Arcticwolf, I read that the farmer is selling the moulds to the UK now. They were selling the pears in China for $7 each.
