A rhetorical question.

I bought a plant for my cube the other day. I'd been meaning to for a while, and a cube-cleaning binge gave me the necessary final boost. It's a pothos -- kinda like a philodendron, supposed to be good for low light.

Is it irredeemably geeky of me that my first thought of what to name a pothos is Arthos? :)

(Also, my brain is weird. When trying to come up with the names of the Three Musketeers, I was having trouble with the third one, and my brain somehow went "Athos, Porthos, and Abednego!")

I like the way your mind makes these lateral leaps. Methinks that is one of the reasons you're good at puzzles.

And btw, I wonder if you ever did the church musical, "Cool in the Furnace"? (Shadrach, Meschach, Abednego!) That cadence really gets stuck in your head if you rehearse it for a few weeks.

Also btw, I can tell you, as owner of many many pothoses, they are easy to keep, and pretty hard to kill. Just water about once a week (feel the soil, and only water it when it's dry) and watch it grow. Long, long chains of leaves will result. (If you want it to be bushy instead of stringy, prune it regularly.)
