What's Up Doc?

CARROTS!!!

The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus, Etymology: Middle French carotte, from Late Latin carōta, from Greek karōton, originally from the Indo-European root ker- (horn), due to its horn-like shape) is a root vegetable, usually orange, purple, red, white, or yellow in colour, with a crisp texture when fresh. The edible part of a carrot is a taproot. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It has been bred for its greatly enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured edible taproot, but is still the same species.

It is a biennial plant which grows a rosette of leaves in the spring and summer, while building up the stout taproot, which stores large amounts of sugars for the plant to flower in the second year. The flowering stem grows to about 1 metre (3 ft) tall, with an umbel of white flowers that produce a fruit called a mericarp by botanists, which is a type of schizocarp. (Copied from wiki.)

There, now don't you feel smarter!

Anyway, I had a purpose for bringing up the carrot. We must stop the war in Afghanistan. As soon as possible! If not for the children, for the carrot!!! The wild ancestors of the carrot are likely to have come from Afghanistan, which remains the center of diversity of D. carota, the wild carrot! For the love of carrots! STOP THE WAR!!!! How would you like it if people were trampling your ancestors!

(^_^) Also, I was told to write about carrots...so I did.

Edit...
I have been informed we cannot stop the war. That we are defending people from the taliban (and no Mr. spell Checker, I refuse to make that a proper noun). I was also informed that, "we're on the good side." So, as of this moment, I retract my statement, but feel it dishonest to remove it.

It appears we are also defending the carrots and their right to coexist with humanity. I apologize for my attitude earlier.
