I got it - the news of the day-forget edwards-LOOK!!!
Phallus-shaped flower is botanical superstar
One of the world's largest flowers, it stinks of rotting meat or rancid cheese



MEISE, Belgium - It's one of the world's largest flowers, it stinks of rotting meat or rancid cheese and looks very much like a giant penis.

The Amorphophallus Titanum — literally "the giant strangely shaped penis" — has been attracting big crowds at the National Botanic Garden of Belgium on the outskirts of Brussels.

The rare phallus-like flower that springs from the plant only survives about 72 hours and its timing is completely unpredictable, said Gert Ausloos, head of education at the garden.

14. Haha. Everything about this is wrong.
Damn, I've been so serious today. This was needed.

Hey, take a listen to this- it's also silly.
