I wonder how good of a TIM rice is. Toothpaste did really well for the first day or so.

roflmao... hi, I bet you it has been done before..

lemme put it this way... I work with support for greenhouses... we get customers calling...
First they want to know how to build it (because they cant figure out the manual)
Then they want replacement for missing parts (because they can't find them... note, I have assembled many and there were never, ever missing parts)
then they top it all off with the best question of all... "thank you so much for helping me build it..." "you are welcome" "so... err... what do I do with it?" "excuse me? what do you do with what?" "the greenhouse, what do I do with it" "You put plants in it in the winter so they don't die" "oh thank you! I will do that than"...

I am dead serious... and it has happened MORE then once...

I've got one for you. A buddy of mine works as a level 3 tech for a local company that supports motorolla/quest television services. He's told me this story a number of times and I can only remember the jist of it but, it went something like this:

A younger lady calls in right after having her quest tv services added to her existing quest telephone services. She can't get the tv to change channels. He goes through the standard procedures with her, and continually hears a beeping throughout the process that he cannot figure out. Finally they give up, she goes out to buy batteries for the remote, calls back and she still can't seem to get it working, the phone still beeping throughout the process. Finally she calls in for a third time, getting really frustrated my buddy finally asks what all the beeping on her phone line is. She asks "oh you can hear that, is that why the TV can't?" She had been attemting to change the channel on her Quest TV box with her Quest Telephone all day. Needless to say she's lucky she was in another state or my buddy would have slapped her.

wow... no really wow... she tried to change the chanel on the tv with her cell phone?! that takes it to a whole different level...

Then again, buying a greenhouse for 400-6000$ (depending on model) and not knowing what it is FOR is pretty crazy...
