Why is the Quaking Aspen described as the "largest plant in America" in the 'Wonders of America' stamp series, as many plants seem to be larger? http://www.usps.com/communications/news/stamps/2006/images/hr/wonders/WofA39_sht_BGv2.jpg

Gnomon

The plant known as Pando is a quaking aspen, but it is not a single tree. It is a collection of trees all joined together by the roots and reckoned to be a single organism. At 6,000 tonnes, it is the biggest plant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pando_(Quaking_Aspen) Sep 28 06, 8:10 AM

What Gnomon says is indeed fact. And don't try chopping down a quaking aspen in your yard without killing it with vegetation killer first, or you'll have thousands of its clones erupting throughout your yard! Sep 28 06, 8:17 AM

What body of water is described as larger than a brook but smaller than a river? Creek? Stream? Even though animals differ greatly in size, their eyes seem to have similar dimensions. As a result the eyes of small or young animals look proportionately larger than our own. Why? This will be a tough poser because of the time factor. Does anyone know the make of car (a convertible) did Boston Blackie drive on the early fifties TV series? It does not seem to be an American make. Which is larger, Norway or Finland?
