re: #624 doppelganglander

It would make an interesting science fair project. Think of the fun of horrifying the health teacher.

Actually, in all seriousness, tremendous scientific work is being done with recombinant tobacco plants.

The plants themselves act as small factories, and their genetics have been extensively documented (thanks largely to grants donated by the Tobacco companies, who will always remain unthanked).

I don’t want to get into details, but I actually drove past a tobacco farm about three hours ago. Growing a few plants is certainly doable…though maybe not worth the effort.
