Ever looked at the music collection and wished for a bit more shelfroom ?
If the album was manufactured as a Garden Variety CD, then those last vestiges of the physical age of mankind can be turned into a bouquet of flowers, Πsq.ft. of cat or wheat grass, proto-bonsai, or any number of other horticultural
delights, each nestled in their own decorative planter.
How ?
The product looks like a regular CD. The transformation starts when the disc is held under a running tap for about ten seconds, label side up. This dissolves the protective film, revealing a flat honeycomb structure, the melting walls of which allowing the cells containing fertilizer/growth formula access to the ones containing seeds/spores.
At the same time various hydro-philic/phobic elements warp the outer edge of the disc upwards, forming a shallow but functional dish.
It's not magic of course: your new botanical companion still has to be placed in sunlight and occasionally watered, mushroom and cacti notwithstanding.

Would it work for DVDs too? I have a copy of
"Captain Corelli's Mandarin" I don't need. |

That's why the pump-action 12-gauge was invented ... |

We have a copy of a book about an Italian officer who owns a valuable abstract oil painting. It's called "Captain Corelli's Mondrian". |

Strange. I have a book about an Italian officer whose
servant has an unfortunate accident with a well. I
believe it's called "Captain Corelli's Man Fell In." |

How odd. Mine's about a mediaevel artillerist:
_Captain Corelli's Mangonel_ |
|

hmm to hmmph... I thought you could copy a CD to disk legally as long as you weren't using one or the other at the same time. Seems you can't... |
|
| |
...Which I would be all in favour of, "the medium is the message", but since all those songs are also available as purely electronic downloads from the publisher, it's a bit of a different message. |

I just plain like this 'bake. I have no idea what these other
wierdos are on about. |

Culture, literature, civilisation, education ... move along, move along, nothing for you here ... back to your bear skins and flint axes ... |

We're working copper now, thank you very much. |
