Gardener's Question Time once received a question from a lady concerned that her neighbours might be growing cannabis. The neighbours insisted the plants were cabbages, but she thought they were cannabis. Gardener's Question Time suggested she steal a few leaves and smoke them - if she's still worried, it's cabbage.DrGreg said:

I finally figured out why I look so bad in pictures. It's my face.
Lately, I've been watching my weight. It's still there.
A billion dollar idea: a smoke detector that turns off when you yell "I'm just cooking, dammit!"
We keep a potato masher in a drawer because sometimes it's fun to not be able to open that drawer.
It only takes one slow-walking person in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store to destroy the illusion that I'm a nice person.
