This came in an email with the subject of the same name. It also included pictures of a cubicle filled with styrofoam peanuts, office covered in post-its, etc. This one struck me as especially funny (mostly cuz I haven't seen it before)...
Now, how is this done?? Is it just taking the keys off the keyboard, adding some dirt and seeds? Can anyone tell what type of plant is actually sprouting??

My first thought was that water was poured into the keyboard and then seeds sprinkled into the cracks - hydroponic growth, so to speak. Then you wouldn't have to remove anything. Ruins the keyboard, but so would the other way with dirt....
It is very funny - I've heard of turning a monitor into a fish tank, but this is new and different!

I'm sort of torn here. Should I show this picture to our morning DJ or pull this prank on him when he goes on his honeymoon? I do have an old keyboard around so nothing would get ruined. Suggestions?

Oooohhh, that combines 2 of my favorite things- growing plants and computers. I love it! Now I'm gonna have to figure out how to make a Planted 'Puter.

It looks like it is the plants from a Chia pet which IIRC are alfafa sprouts.
I always thought just switching the M and the N key on a keyboard was usually a good prank especially on someone who hunts and pecks.

It does make much more sense to try and do it hydroponically rather than take off all the keys.
And always glad to give more fodder for pranks! Please please please try it!!!!
