Toyota Develops New Plant Species

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the green-not-just-a-paint-option dept.

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.

    I've never understood why our government restricts the sale or posession of marijuana when smoking cherry sage will get you so much more f'ed up and it's completely legal!

    I thought Toyota would work on a hybrid, it only makes sense.

    What doesn't make sense is why they'd try to make a car run on Goatse guy's leavings.

    Please Slashdot, don't get hacked/fooled again. Too many eyes are counting on you to keep us pure.

    If I had to recall 75,000 hybrids I'd make a fake plant to divert people's attention too.
