Well, they don't literally scream, but every living organism does indeed make a response to things that injure it, translated into something with a mouth, it's a scream.

That's some liberal hippy shit right there. A tomato that is not on the vine is dead already. The vine and roots are the actual plant, the tomato is essentially a part of the whole, therefore it can't scream.

Though I'm surprised hippies haven't tried to use L Ron's idea to say we shouldn't eat plants either.

"Birdman Leo Valentin demonstrates his method of flying from a special harness. Valentin died when his invention failed him after jumping out of an airplane in 1956."

A) I literally LOL'ed at L Ron Hubbard's tomato scream meter.
B) Why are so many from the 30s and 60s? Did disco stop stupid inventions?
C) Some of these, while impractical, are early versions of things that are popular today. Such as the mini TV.
