Bring Back The Dodo!

What is the true meaning of Christmas? We can only suggest you donate to those in need this season - as so many of you already have - to those in need in this troubled world economy of today. You don't have to be religious or believe, just make a secular donation and see how good you feel about it. For the truly needy, look no further than the Doctors Without Borders Top Ten List: Doctors Without Borders' Top 10 Humanitarian Crises http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/publications/topten/ - and direct your donations to them or these causes. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Happy Hanukah. Happy Kwanzaa. And Merry New Year.

OOPS! Apparently the link we provided was an "about" page on Midori. Please read the following from Masakazu OHTSUKA. "Dear ******,Hello,I'm a member of KAYAC Inc.

We first heard about Midori, the blogging plant, on the BBC Nightly News on PBS last night, Tuesday, October 21, 2008 and were amazed by it. We had to make a couple of searches on the BBC News Website in order to find the story on the internets. We then googled "Midori, the blogging plant" and found the link on the "Pink Tentacle" site.

This was our first message to Midori, the Plant!!! " Greetings to you plant, Midori. I've never communicated directly with a plant before. This is a very exciting development to me. I am very pleased to meet you. I will treat all vegetation with greater respect from now on. I hope you can visit my blog "Bring Back the Dodo!" (http://www.bringbackthedodo.blogspot.com) on Google's Blogger site (blogger.com). There I have a special link to Flora called "Floralinks". I will include link to your site and the BBC story that brought me to you. Sorry that this message is in English, but my Japanese is not so good. Hope you are well and it is sunny tomorrow. Love, ******"
