Scoop! Trees are warm-blooded!

The snow has melted around the tree in front of our house, leaving about a four inch gap all the way around the trunk.

The snow has not melted around the wooden telephone pole a half block up from our house, on the same side of the street.

What other scientifical conclusions can we draw from this shocking evidence except that trees are our warm-blooded brethren and sistren? Quick! Call the Texas educational system and demand that our children’s textbooks be re-written!

  1. Water melts snow. Trees collect water from a wide area and it runs down the trunk. Telephone poles do not. Ergo…

  2. This is evidence of a tree-dwelling animal with clear urine.

  3. Excellent observation. I did not know trees are warm-blooded.

  4. “…and demand that our children’s textbooks be re-written!”

    …which would require cutting down some more trees?

  5. Perhaps the trees are salty or otherwise chemically different from the poles. I’m speculating wildly, but now that you’ve read it on the Internet, it must be true.

  6. Is it really a tree, or does it just look like one when represented digitally?

    ;-)

  7. Or, it could mean that snow packed by a plow around a pole is denser than snow that falls around a tree.
