    Probably a repost; genetic modified grass that - apparently - develops a mutation over time. The thing that seemed weird is that different samples of the same plant develop the same "random" mutation in different places, at the same time. Austins Cyanide-Grass[^] That's not a random mutation then, is it? Once is an event, twice a coincidence - but this would qualify as a pattern :) --edit And another article; one would almost get the impression that nature is actually targetting;

    A growing number of rootworms are now able to devour genetically modified corn specifically designed by Monsanto to kill those same pests. A new study shows that while the biotech giant may triumph in Congress, it will never be able to outsmart nature.

      I think it is spontaneous, not random. People constantly misuse the word 'random' I'm quite sick of Monsanto and will be happy the day they go belly up from their own modified food.

        Monsanto was a client of ours years ago before I had any idea who they were. Now, I know they are "the devil[^]."

        There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

          Except...it has nothing to do with genetic modifications. It's a straight hybrid. And it has nothing to do with hybridization, it's from the drought conditions.

              Me, either. It just sounded silly enough to check into. Poor cows, though :(

                      Not available in the waybackmachine. This link[^] tells the same story, but they were smart enough to do their homework.
