World's Perfection

I was peeling a tangerine today and was wondering how this item came to be. One can think of it as a magic act of God which deserves merit because something so perfect cannot be an accident. The other side is thinking about the DNA mechanism of the plant that made this fruit. The way the fruit is partitioned off into slices, the thin layer of skin protecting the fruit, and the ridges that define its overall structure..

then I thought, I am really eating an ovary of a plant...going even further..smelling a flower is really just smelling a plant's genitals, i just had to say it *blush*

Well it really depends on which part of the flower you are shoving up your nose. I wouldn't suppose its the petals now is it. :)

On a another front, what a pleasureless way to copulate, unless of course there is some anticipation involved for the arrival of the pollen grains. Control tower to stem: OH MY GOD HERE THEY COME HERE THEY COME!!

Sorry...i just got off a plane...

I would need a truck load of Claritine to be able to smell that flower. Khookh probably would as well. We once took a shot at za3faran, and noticed we didn't have any Claritine on us.

10 boxes of Kleenex later we decided to go walking from Khaldeh to Beirut (Beirut was under Israeli attack that day) because we couldn't take it anymore.
