Quote of the Day:
We won’t have any GM, no. Which is a shame – I think we’ve missed a trick there. We could develop wheat with the properties of velcro, to catch whatever it is that’s forming those crop circles! But then the spaceship would have to have the corresponding velcro…so it’s a bit of a long shot really.
Bill Bailey
