I just wanted to take a webcam photo of my plant. What I gotwas a picture that looks like seven green penises exploding from my crotch: [http://www.mister-rik.com/hosted/fern.jpg](http://www.mister-rik.com/hosted/fern.jpg) ---

Looks nothing like my penis but as we say here “your mileage may vary”. 🙂 That would be a cool one for the SDMB Portrait Gallery though. ---

I had to look twice to make sure you hadn’t turned your bottom dresser drawer into a litterbox… 🙂 ETA: And it doesn’t look so much like 7 green penises as 6 green penises and one time-lapse green ejaculation. 😃 ---

My digital camera stopped working, and my phone is a “stupid phone” that can take pictures but won’t let me transfer them to my computer. So I had to drag the damned plant in front of my computer and use the webcam. With unfortunate results. > [@G0sp3l](#): > > The real question is should we be surprised that there’s a comics longbox in that room? > > 🙂 Your surprise should be, rather, sadness. That one box is all that is left of my once-glorious collection. I placed most of my possessions into a storage unit when preparing to move from the house I shared with a couple other guys (it turned out our landlord was taking our rent checks but not paying the mortgage, and the house was foreclosed out from under us), and my storage unit was robbed shortly after I moved into my own apartment. Three thousand comic books, dating back to 1987, gone. The only comics I had left were the most recent purchases, which I had in my apartment ☹ > [@corkboard](#): > > Thank God for the red arrow. Heh. The arrow is there because I took the picture to post on Facebook and comment on how this plant baffles me. It sits in front of an open window, in January, exposed to freezing air, and still sends out this brand new shoot that went from zero to 24-inches practically overnight.
