Clusters of giant hogweed have been
found in Ashtabula County, with un-
confirmed reports of toeholds in Lake
and Columbiana counties.
 
The US Department of Agriculture has
the plant on its noxious weed list.
 
David Marrison of the Ohio State University
Extension office in Ashtabula County says
hogweed sap can cause second-degree chemical
burns on a person.
 
Specimens grow up to 15 feet tall, with
green and purple-splotched hollow stems
about 3 inches in diameter and green
leaves up to several feet long. An umbrella-
like spray of small white flowers tops the stalks.
 
Marrison inspected a cluster of more than
100 of the plants surrounding a barn in
Pierpont, Ohio, about 60 miles northeast of
Cleveland near the Pennsylvania state line.
 
The property owner said he has tried without
success to kill the plants.
 
They are invincible,
They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering!

There has been news at the television, that they have also infested Finland now, and authorities try to poison them.

All resistance is futile, though.

Well, after loads of research, I've discoverd that these "Giant hogweed's" where discoverd originally in a small farm known locally as "Willow farm," they were first found by the Guarenteed eternal sanctuary man. He reported this to Iknaton and Itsacon and their band of merry men, a close freind that does opera's and dances around nearby towns. They were inturupted durring there opera performance where this girls three lovers leaped across the stage singing in unison about how much they loved them. But thats beside the point. They walked to a nearby town, and before reporting the Hogweed , they stopped at a salesmen along the road telling to a crowd:

"These woman are overworking us men! And this makes us need to walk long distanced. I don't know about you, but I'm getting tierd of this. The woman don't know about the aching mens feet. And they don't have to! Now, by our deluxe comforter foot pad. It can stretch to meet any shoe length. So those aching feet will go away forever."

Seeing as how they had just walked such a distance, they decided to by the shoe comforter. They fult much better, but were out of money. and they had no energy to walk back home later that evening. So they went to go do some oddjobs and they found a young cocky man who they decided to help for minimum wage for a motel room that night. They relized they had made a mistake when the man looked into a mirror and said "How dare I be so beautifull, hmm?" Looking at Iknaton.  "How can I stand being this beautifull? Seriously, heh, Look at me! I'm gorgeous!" Needing the money, Iknaton did the best he could to keep his cool and keep his pay. "Uhh... I don't know, I tried, but I couldn't manage it." Trying to atleast manage being funny. It didn't work. "Are you saying you can match up to my beauty?" It all just went ownhill from there.

The merry men did an amazing job cleaning the house, however. And they kept there pay. Itsacon stayed a bit longer because as he turned on the TV he saw a commercial that said "Milla Jovovich stars in Resident evil, apocolypse, 9/8 central. He rememberd the hotel to have no TV. So he stayed with the cocky kid and met up with the others that night. AS they awake in the morning, they all change, wash up, etc. and go to the News station and report the hogweed, since their was no evidence, it was all pointless and they went back home as it was officially reported an hour later somewhere else in the world.

However the eternal sanctuary man got home to find his angry wife. "I told you, you always need to come home when Supper's Ready! Now your dinner and breakfast are cold!"

Sorry for wasting your time. I just thought this report needed to be said and heard! Just so that The eternal sanctuary man, Iknaton, Itsacon, and the mery men's journy along with the aching feet where not in vain.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have what may be the first Genesis fanfic.

I'm waiting for Liquid Len and Harold The Barrel to destroy this menace.

Better not compromise, it won't be easy!
