Hi,

the last Science contains an article on the positive effect of stress on
raddish plants. Apparently, cutting the leaves of the plant not only 
increases the production of seeds, but also increases the production of
natural pesticides. I don't know if this also applies for chilli plants,
but maybe it is worth trying to attack the plants instead of the aphids
in order to get rid of the latter. ;-)

According to Horrowitz, there are three types of pianists: homosexual, jewish
and bad pianists. Do I have to worry?
