    carnivorous, soon to be man-eating...before you know it they'll start convincing people to kill themselves, thankfully I can outrun the wind.

    omgggg. meat-eating plants. But then, Palawan (the place where they found those plants) is home to a lot of unique flora and fauna, so I'm not really surprised they found meat-eating plants there. -_-
    Do any of you think there'll come a time when, after the plants had evolved and ruled the world, they'll also have vegetarians and carnivores, with the carnivorous plants having organizations equivalent to PETA? lulz

    Interestingly, the local name for pitcher plants is translated to "monkey pots", as people imagined that monkeys could drink out of them. I guess this sort of gives it a different meaning.

    @Rasselas: More like a Potion of Forgetting, can't get over your ex? take a swig of this. It was used often in classical literature and yes, it first showed up in the Odyssey.
