  1. Super-Mega Botanist Friendship Friends Hey Kids!Its time for the another groovy installment of… As you may already know the UN is establishing a committee to address the Global Biodiversity Crisis. Of course, this group of elite scientists will include the SMBFF, who are already hard at work on this issue…

  2. As usual, the SMBFF spring into mighty action… According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (www.iucn.org) over 70% of the planet’s plant species (and an awful lot of other worthwhile biodiversity) are at risk of extinction. The blame for this mass extinction rests squarely on the shoulders of us, good ‘ol Homo sapiens. Empirical data the Splitter and I have gathered does not allow us to refute this unfortunate hypothesis. In an effort to better understand this global crisis, we interviewed the cause and hopefully the solution to this problem and within this forum we present the results…. Dr. Splitter! Show these people What we have learned!

  3. We interviewed home owners… Biodiversity Crisis? Not my fault, I’m turning my lawn into a beautiful wildflower meadow! Hey! Didn’t we already deal with This guy in SMBFF #1???

  4. …Celebrities… All of us at Kiss, Inc. are very concerned about biodiversity and health issues. That’s why I am endorsing this delicious, biodiverse and hard-rockin’ breakfast cereal… well not actually, that they pay me to say I like this crap is the only reason I am endorsing this cereal… in truth I like sex, drugs and ROCK ‘n’ ROLL for breakfast… Is my eyeliner smudged? Can I go now?...

  5. …Tree-hugging freaks in the woods… I am very concerned about the Global Biodiversity Crisis, that is why I have stopped wearing clothes, eat only sticks and gravel, and live here in the wilderness…

  6. …Students on campus… I learned all about the global biodiversity crisis in class, my friends and I talk about it at all the parties and stuff. My friend was all like: “Oh-mi-gawd! What about all this biodiversity and stuff?” And then I was like: “fersure!” And then they were all: “nice hat” And then…

  7. …Home Boys on the street… Yo! Me and my posse are marketing only the finest Columbian, fair-trade, organic. Our hybrids be bumpin’ on 26” recycled aluminum rims. The homies be reducin’, reusin’, and recyclin’ ‘cause thaz th’ way we playaz play…

  8. And even livestock… Hmmm… Biodiversity tastes great! – I just can’t get enough of it…

  9. Today, at great risk and peril, we examined attitudes of people in your town! Remember conservation is a human process, not a natural process; therefore, human values and attitudes are a very important catalyst for this process. You Jr. Botanists playing along at home can set your web browsers to stun and go to: http://www.well.com/~davidu/extinction.html and learn more about this very important issue… Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment of SMBFF!!! Which hopefully will be funny and contain more violence….
