I for one applaud this line of research if it in any small way helps me eradicate from the Earth forever the appalling chore of mowing my lawn.

Sure, I could move to a yardless / grassless domicile. But that would be to surrender! Never, I say!

Science WILL help me tame those smug green stalks of evil so they grow only as tall as my will sees fit. Or else it will help me scorch our world of every last single blade. This I vow.
