I can’t be the only person who has followed the story of Lois the corpse flower to think of this, can I? (Warning: Some naughty words in the video.)
Now, now, I know fully well that Lois is not in fact a bloodthirsty, man-eating space alien bent on world domination. But you have to admit, there is a resemblance. For more about Lois, see here and all over the HMNS blog. You can also watch Lois on the HMNS webcam.
