+Wed Oct 17, 2012 4:50pm **Edible language experiment**
+(Towards a vocabulary of taste of Lingua Ignota words)
+Test subjects: humans, edible plants
+Moon Phase: Sturgeon Moon
+Conditions: partially electrified, damp, sunny
+This was a cross-species edible language experiment conducted by myself and recorded by Mandrago long ago. He lost his lab notebook and so we are unable to determine which words came from plants and which from humans. I had hoped he would find it in the meantime, but unfortunately not.
+Several months afterward, one test subject described the experiment like this:
+There was this paper and stuff you could eat, and then all these strange words came out of our mouths. Do you have any more?

+Amidst Ashton's howling hoots of amusement, the inspiring buzz of electricity, the plants and wires and circuit boards - nothing happened. Things just don't fuse together like they do in our reality; the magic glue connecting our herbal technologies doesn't stick. We're going to have to rely on our research assistants and their tireless work on plant-machine translation.
+Fortunately this has just picked up momentum. The new assistant has already been mentioned. I'm mystified as to just what we'll find in the Snoepwinkel in a few days' time. Maybe the whole place will be [url=http://libarynth.org/bioluminescent_fungi]glowing[/url] in [url=http://libarynth.org/plant_perception#light_elctrochemical_responses]blue, white and red light[/url]. Undoubtedly the place will be filled with electrodes and new fungal blooms. (The assistants themselves often behave like and resemble fungi; for this reason alone they are dear to our hearts.)
