Acorn in water - tell us why, Iris
Yeah Iris, tell us where does mold come from and why does it form? Does it
EAT the acorn? Why does nature waste so many acorns by allowing them to fall into the water and die? Why Iris why? Who will stop the madness? Is this all the work of some vengeful god or some conspiracy by the trilateral commission? ;-) Just how old is George and has he taken basic biology in school yet? George wrote in message om... Thanks Iris, It didn't look very healthy so I threw it out. If acorns fall into water naturally and are allowed to die, I imagine the same thing happens. Do you know where the mold comes from and why it forms - does it eat the acorn? George (Iris Cohen) wrote in message ... I placed an acorn in a cup of water a few weeks ago. The water has decreased and turned orange and has globules. The acorn is covered with a grey mold-like cover. Acorns are not designed to germinate in water. The acorn has died and is moldy. The water is probably full of bacteria. If you want to geminate acorns, in fact most seeds, you will have to plant them in soil.

You are too quick to make fun of people. My granddaughter is in ninth grade, and I can tell you the quality of public school instruction, even in the suburbs, is not what it was when we went to school. And many young people are too immature to really absorb even the most basic material. With folks like George, years after they graduated from high school, they suddenly become curious and are really interested in learning the facts that didn't register at the time. Don't knock it.

Are you curious yellow or are you curious blue?
Actually George never said how old he is and we don't know his level of formal education either. So, you shouldn't just assume that he's some old fart loosing his marbles, Iris!!!

There is something like mental age. From tone and content of your postings we assume you are a bright but emotionally unstable teen and we treat you as such. For all we know, in actuality you may be a frustrated 50-plus year old grouch, whose development got stuck at an early age ("you're twelve"?). As to your formal education? We hope you enjoyed some.

Iris,
that really is a great piece you wrote here. The moral is that we are have to learn too much in school at an immature age, or maybe it's the lack of a rigorous upbringing, that narrows our perception down to one single concern. It's hard to learn something of evereything (certainly when you have other things on your mind like kids, paying a house, ...) , but maybe the biggest frustration of all is that out brains are not designed to remember all the stuff we soak up, that we forget things, and that our lives are too short in terms of gathering information. Maybe we do miss one cell doubling in our brain, same thing what distinguishes us and monkeys. I have great respect for George, because he is interested one of the primary things in life -nature-. Something that my urbanised neighbours have forgotten a long time ago. ----------------------------- Il faut penser à l'avenir afin d'endurer le présent. Moi, Xavier.
