Had you gone to the right high school, you would have realized they are
not pines. They are triffids.



Sometimes I am very thankful that I am not as well-read as you.

I conserve brain cells.

Conserving for what? Old age? It's here.

Actually, "Day of the Triffids" is one of the best sci-fi novels ever. The
movie made from the book, though, was just plain awful.


For some reason I never cared for or got hooked on sci-fi stuff, books or
movies. The "Twilight Zone" and "Star Trek" was weird enough for me.
Except when I was about 5 or 6. Then, the whole world centered on
"Superman" (George Reeves).

That came from a bad early 50's SciFi book. Been a couple other books with
the same theme. Most bad.
