You have seeds that hatch??

Something pops out of a shell...
Looks like hatching, to me!
Edited to say,
Can you tell I've been standing over a rolling-hatch incubator all week?

This is a thread to vent in. No names, no identifying information.

For example,
"If you don't want to be called lazy, try not being lazy."

Edit to add a couple more rules. Remember that we're in a public forum, so let's keep sensitive topics out of this thread. No politics, no religion, etc.

I have one. But on second thought, I’ll just keep quiet and wait for someone think of it first. I don’t want to kill this thread

I used to tell my students, "If you send out an email or other communication filled with misspellings and grammatical errors, at best, they'll think you're uneducated. At worst, they'll think you're stupid."

Ah, yes. Al’s video is a classic. My parents referred us kids to the Random House Unabridged Dictionary in our family room. That giant tan cube of a book, the knowledge therein which I inhaled, to be prepared for playing Scrabble with my Grammy from Kentucky, who played for blood.

Don't believe everything you read. Seriously, do some research from reputable sites. University associated web sites are usually a pretty good bet.

But I'm usually not sure how to spell coccidiosis or my phone changes it to "cochin dialysis" or "Cochise dioxide " when I least expect it.

Same folks would probably jump at the chance to live on Mars, without thinking about lack of air, and what do you eat after the stash of food you brought along is gone.

Your point being "people do stupid things on a whim without a second thought for the heck of it."
Not to mention the long, long trip.

I hate people that seem to just want to start something
