I heard about it on the radio this morning. It could be real.

Um. Anything growing in the absence of light would not be green. This seems pretty implausible to me.

That was my thought too.

I was thinking the same thing. That botanist in the video said the same thing too. Also, would a 5cm (2") tree have needles already? Don't let's forget that a lot of the world's email scams come from Russia.

For some reason I am thinking about Fringe...and wondering if observer was anywhere around.

I believe that a seed could sprout inside the body, but I don't think it would survive very long or grow.

It would end up looking like an alfalfa sprout and then it would die. Mushrooms would make more sense.

Agree, that's my belief, too.

Considering the fact that I find it very difficult to grow grass on my back lawn, I doubt a random tree can grow in a man's chest.
