Unknown Vegetable
Around the turn of the Century, there was a Morning-type talk show that advertized that they were to soon have a segment on a remarkable vegetable found in a village in the Orient, haveing miraculous life extending powers. When the segment was aired (after numerous references), it contained the usual introductions, then analysis, interviews, and talk. Through out the entire segment, the entire segment, all the way thru and including the end. They did not give the name of the vegetable, nor any hint as to where one might find it, or find any more information about it!
That can not be an accident. The first thing anyone is going to ask upon your telling them of a miraculous life extending vegetable is what?
"Yea? What's it called? Where can I get this stuff?
