Will tree sap stain ornaments or cloth?

Crude sap originates in the roots of a plant as a water-based solution containing various minerals from the soil. Many organic compounds, including sugars, are added to the solution through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a natural chemical process caused by sunlight and the absorption of carbon dioxide through the leaves. Depending on the specific minerals and compounds in the sap, it may or may not stain other materials. Sugar maple sap, for example, is mostly water and can be rinsed out of most materials.

Do all trees have rings?

Under the bark of a tree is a layer called the cambium, which is the only living part of the trunk. This layer grows, adding new wood to the tree. A different kind of wood grows during the summer than in the fall. In the summer, the wood grows fast. It tends to be soft and light in color. In the fall, a denser kind of wood grows. This wood is more watertight and prevents the tree from drying out in the winter.

So in many kinds of trees, especially in areas that have harsh winters, each year can be counted with a light area and dark area that go all the way around the tree, forming a ring.

How do you breed money trees and other plants?

I was chatting with an Egyptian relative of mine yesterday. He told me a new phenomenon has been sweeping Egypt for the last 6 years. It is called "breeding money" using magic. Now, understand that a lot of people in "those" countries believe in magic, voodoo, sorcelery and other underground forces and influences. Magic was cited in the holy book Qoran and it is widely respected and practiced. Well... having been raised in a Western society that doesn't believe in super-natural phenomenon, I mocked my relative and laughed at his ideas and at his mere suggetsion that you can make money breed using magic. I said: "let's put a 20-Dollar bill with a 5-Dollar bill on the bed, under the bed sheets and let them spend the night". "Will the 5-Dllar bill become pregnant" or "do they need more than one night", I said jokingly. Not to be out-witted, he replied: "you also need to put a Viagra bill with them under the blanket" :) :) Truth be told, I found the subject to be greatly amusing and I could not believe my relative - an otherwise smart and educated person - would take the idea of "money breeding" seriously. Yet... he seemed to be offended I was making fun of the whole idea. Morale of the story.... money trees do exist... at least in Egyptian minds.
