I do not know about others, but I, for one, do not have a green thumb. Me and plants do not get along. In fact, I probably couldn’t tell the difference between Poison Ivy and regular grass. (Okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration. I think.) So it is safe to say I do no gardening. However, even someone as nature-illiterate as me would not have guessed that plants can grow on a keyboard. Check it out:
The particular plant you see growing on the above keyboards is called ‘Garden Cress’. And apparently it isn’t a very rare occurrence. Go figure.
Interesting fact: Garden Cress is an edible herb, meaning you can eat it. Imagine the possibilities — having your own stash of Garden Cress to nibble on while raiding Onyxia in World of Warcraft.

Isn’t the force of life just incredible?
Being the one who would be tasked with plowing the garden under, I sigh mightily, but I can see the humor…..I guess. :-/
Ch-Ch-Ch ChiaMac!
Ok, if it was a cheapo keyboard, but if it was a $100 mechanical job, he’d get real mad at you.
