"Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around..."

A popular post on the front page lately reminded me of this image and this mindbending quote of Terence McKenna:

"Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around. An extremely yang solution to a peculiar problem which they faced."

Sort:  

In reality, animals came first. Seeds and fruits came later.

But yes, I get his point. :)

You could also claim that virusses invented life, to be carried arround.
