Re: Sinkers and Floaters
Well hey! I throw them out because just like some one mentioned.... It's
easier than trying to seperate the little boogers! Who knows, maybe over
time we'll select for seeds that sink? *cackle*
Seriously though, if you wanna get boogerish about it, take those floaters
with their adherent material and put 'em in another container of water.
See if some of them don't just sink after a bit anyway. I always suspected
that the ones floating were just still stuck tight to the fruit material
and that was part of what made them float.
Ah well, either way it warms my heart to see people thinking. The world
needs more independant thinkers.
