He had heard about talking to plants in the early seventies, on Radio Four, and thought it an excellent idea. Although talking is perhaps the wrong word for what Crowley did.
What he did was put the fear of God into them.
More precisely, the fear of Crowley.
In addition to which, every couple of month Crowley would pick out a plant that was growing too slowly, or succumbing to leaf-wilt or browning, or just didn’t look quite as good as the others, and he would carry it around to all the other plants. ‘Say goodbye to your friend,’ he’d say to them. ‘He just couldn’t cut it …’
Then he would leave the flat with the offending plant, and return an hour or so later with a large, empty flower pot, which he would leave somewhere conspicuously around the flat.
The plants were the most luxurious, verdant, and beautiful in London. Also the most terrified.

“What is there in this world that makes living worth while?”
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually, CATS ARE NICE.

Look At These Ingenious Gorillas of the Day: Earlier this week, a poacher’s snare captured and killed a wild gorilla infant in Rwanda.
But in a wildly exciting turn of events, conservationists witnessed just days later a pair of wild gorillas identifying and dismantling similar traps.
Veronica Vecellio, gorilla program coordinator at the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, is ecstatic:
This is absolutely the first time that we’ve seen juveniles doing that … I don’t know of any other reports in the world of juveniles destroying snares.
We are the largest database and observer of wild gorillas … so I would be very surprised if somebody else has seen that.
