Talk about stating the obvious

Some nutty professor (ok, researcher), has discovered that putting plants in pots stunts their growth..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/18612661 If only they'd given me their research grant, I'm sure I could have told them exactly the same.

    Oh. that'll be why my citrus-pip-tree never grew taller than 80cm.

    Hi Tim..I share your pain! The times some 'expert' comes up with research that the average person with a modicum of intelligence could have told them......where was I when they were handing out the grant money?

  • How much did that cost? would it cover my daughters uni fees for the next 3 years.
