Very off topic but of interest to at least some of our members (or not)

This reminds me of a bulb reference in a show. I have a daughter four months away from her second birthday, so we often have kids shows on tv. (did I say often? Meant always...) Anyone with kids or grandkids may be aware of the Disney show "Sofia the First". I saw one episode where the kids (main characters) were racing to find the last Hocus Crocus atop some high mountain for a magical science fair project (they were competing). Someone inevitably plucked the poor plant and they ended up accidentally destroying it before they all reached the castle. The lesson was, work together!

This struck me as a bit funny, a race to cause a very special plant to go extinct, and it was a bulb! "If you're a poacher, work together" I guess. Disney did not think conservation was a good lesson I suppose.
