The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a backup to the world's 1,400 other seed banks, was to be officially inaugurated in a ceremony Tuesday on the northern rim of civilization attended by about 150 guests from 33 countries.
F'ucking hippies and their crazy ideas. How many want to make a bet that a bunch of stoners are trying to send pot seeds for a new generation to this place? I got $5 on it. On the bright side, well. . . I can't really think of a bright side. If we ever need to use this seed bank the world will probably in pretty poor shape. Let's all hope that this was just a huge waste of money.
FYI ~ For the good of all mankind (er . . . make that womankind) I'll be stopping by the bank later this week to make a seed deposit myself.
