Arbor-ation
Walking back from lunch yesterday I noticed that there were three shopping trolleys lying on the ground on the lawn between the bus station and the office. One was upside down and the others were on their side. I thought this was a bit odd, but given there is a shopping mall across the road the occasional stray trolley isn't anything unusual. Then I looked up.
The tree had three more trolleys in its branches.
The displaced shopping trolleys were clearly ripe and had recently fallen to the ground in order to sprout and grow more shopping trolley trees. Or were being shed so the tree could hibernate for the winter.
The things I never knew grew on trees...

Well, acording to Terry Pratchett the universe is ever expanding, with new matter appearing as unoticed things like pens and shopping trolleys. Clearly the tree is the mechanism by which this expansion takes place :)

Oh, and I suppose you didn't know where mattresses come from either?
Hah, not knowing that shopping trolleys grow on trees - next she'll say she doesn't believe in silicon heaven.

Silicon heaven is where blogs go to die, mostly when people stop posting on them.
