saw the news on Yahoo! a couple of days ago and i think it was so amusing.

in Norway, they actually opened a Seed Bank, which can withstand any earthquakes, nuclear strike or wars, in other words, its like a 'doomsday' vault or a Noah Ark for seeds.

initially i thought it was so amusing someone would actually open a seed bank.but after thinking,its actually quite creative and innovative.haahaha.so that next time,people can actually take the seeds out and survive again.

they recovered this Judean Date Palm seed from excavations from Herold The Great's palace in Israel which is almost 2000 years old, and now, it still can be grown into a plant.

i think seeds are so amazing.the beginning and birth of so many things.haha.
