> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > _Here lies a Doper_ > _Blew out his candles, dropped dead_ > _Now he’s ground Mustard_ While driving through Eastern Washington a few years ago, we were surrounded by fields of a plant with yellow flowers. My wife thought they were mustard plants. We stopped by an old cemetery to take some pictures. While driving through the cemetery, found a couple headstones, Herman and Elaine Mustard and Estel and Marvin Mustard. At the time we thought it was quite ironic. Turned out the fields of yellow were canola plants, not mustard. ---

In fact, mustard and canola are very closely related. It is almost troubling how important that one plant family is to us. ---

He was quite a Renaissance man! All I knew about him, besides who his father was, was that he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (from which he eventually died) around the time that thalidomide was re-released as a treatment, and it worked quite well for him. ---
