Toyota Develops New Plant Species
oznigot writes "Yes, that's Toyota, the car company. In what appears to be a publicity stunt to promote their hybrid vehicle technology Toyota has developed a new species of plant. Of the Cherry Sage shrub family, the new plant absorbs nitrogen oxide and other substances from the air better than the original Cherry Sage." Update: 10/16 00:01 GMT by Z : Original link removed.
Toyota!

But unfortunately releases them again when you smoke it.
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
start to develope plants as well. Can you recall a tree for safety problems?
We should plant a bunch of these near a city to absorb the pollution and so that we can cut them all down to build new developments! Fun!

Does this mean that the famed "intelligent designer" is really Toyota?
I welcome our new Cherry Sage developing Japanese overlords.
And I thought I had a bad habbit of killing kittens...
"We need a way to promote our new hybrid."
"Recycling campaign?"
"Nah, we need something different..."
"How about a tree..."
"What? Plant a tree?"
"No... We make a new one!"
"But we make automobiles..."
"Exactly, no one will see it coming!"
"How many botanists do we have on staff again? Oh, that's right, NONE!"
"Relax, I'm sure a few guys on the line do it as a hobby."
ok, so this new GE plant absorbs more stuff from the air.... where does this go? What does the plant do with it? Does it release the same amount of stuff that it absorbed when it dies? Does it turn it into something else?
Sendmail is like emacs: A nice operating system, but missing an editor and a MTA.
In the other news GM said it has developed a new species of "Chevy" Sage Shrub family. The new "Chevy" will be sold for $350 per "pot". People can smoke this "Pot" and absorb all the oxides like nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide that are good for the health.
Maybe this will minimize the "smells like ass in here" comments i always get in my car...
Maybe you should stop shitting all over your passenger seat.

No, but you can recall corn.

actually, I heard a screech from my pregnant wife while I was going into the kitchen. I thought some sort of animal got inside the house. She'd never seen the pic before. She was expecting to see a cherry sage plant, not a cherry ass pic plant.

This is the second time a Slashdot story has linked to JapanToday and been redirected to Goatsecx. Either there are some interesting trolls out there or the Japan Today admins think they're clever.
It was aweful, she said nothing just ran out of the room to her mother.
A SHUBBERY!!!!!
One that looks nice and is not too expensive. Ideally, there'd be a second one as well, slightly higher than the first, creating a two-tier effect. With a path in the middle.
