Simpsons Fan Creates Real Tomacco Plant

An anonymous reader writes "So, according to a KPTV newscast, a Simpsons fan with too much time on his hands grafted a tobacco plant and a tomato plant and, ta-da: tomacco! Leaves and most likely the fruit (yes, tomato is a fruit technically) contain nicotine. Delicious AND deadly!" Simpsonschannel.com has a small news piece on the breakthrough, but in a Frink-like move, although scientists have found "nicotine in the leaves", it turns out "the lab hasn't tested if the actual tomato has nicotine in it yet, but they say it probably does."

    What about your best dream?

    I'm not particularly arsed about America, but if we could do the same there as we've done in England .... Actually the big dream is to be U2 (claps hands together) - not a little Britpop phenomenon with the
    right clothes and trendy haircuts, which is what we are now.


    That proves it! U2 IS THE BEST FUCKIN' BAND IN THE WORLD!!!

    I'll reply to this AC because it's OT.
    "By the time the source for Doom3 Is out, I dont think anybody will REMEMBER Bush . . . . or the next 10 presidents."

    From what Bush and his war on terrorism has done to the world, I think his name will live in infamy for decades to come. You should all try this little Flash game to get an idea about what I mean.

    DooM 3 is coming sooner than you think. Early Q2 2004, likely. That's my guess. Who knows, maybe sooner or later. What's important is that they perfect the engine and make a really good game. I don't care when it comes out, really. The longer I have to wait for it, the better it'll be.

    However, our project isn't just about the Bush dynasty, but you can read our documentation to become more informed about it.

    Yeah, I'm sure the terrorists hate him -- probably about as much as the general Iraqi populace LOVE him for freeing them.
