Vegetable?

After my impromptu quick trip to Omaha, I'm feeling under the weather. Seems I've caught a cold or something. I'm home from work today and feeling like a vegetable. 

Which brings up an interesting subject, vegetable. While my status as couch (or in my case, office chair) potato isn't in question, there has been a growing amount of research done regarding whether one who's been declared in a vegetative stage is, in fact, really "in there." Studies on people who have woken up out of a vegetative state after years of unconsciousness! Interesting article on the Wired website. Check it out. 

I'll just be here coughing and sniffling. I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow.
