Wow.  Talk about "Feed Me Seymour".  Jeez.

That's crazy!  I wonder how powerful the digestive juices/enzymes in the plant would be, and how quickly would it digest a rat?  And how long could the plant exist on 1 trapped rat?  Wow, all kinds of questions about stuff like this.  Nature and biodiversity never ceases to amaze me.  Amazing!

Are they big enough to attract and eat people who tag walls and cars. If they do, I want one.

[Damian]

Awww crap!  Did you get hit with tagger stuff, Tim?

We could use one over here, too. One that skateboards.
I think we have a character for a comic!
