Quoted from KingstonMariner
Dandelion and Burdock is God's Gift Pete. How dare you? Burdock is a wild plant. As well as its medicinal uses (and use in pop, more importantly) it apparently inspired the greatest modern fastener since the zip:

Burdock and Velcro[edit]
After taking his dog for a walk one day in the late 1940s (194, George de Mestral, a Swiss inventor, became curious about the seeds of the burdock plant that had attached themselves to his clothes and to the dog's fur. Under a microscope, he looked closely at the hook system that the seeds use to hitchhike on passing animals aiding seed dispersal, and he realized that the same approach could be used to join other things together. The result of his studies was Velcro.[7]

"Black from dust but still alive and red in the center. It reminded me of Hadji Murad. It makes me want to write. It asserts life to the end, and alone in the midst of the whole field, somehow or other had asserted it.
Serbian and Croatian languages use the same word, čičak, for burdock and velcro;[15] Turkish does the same with the name pitrak, while in the Polish language rzep means both burr and velcro. The German word for burdock is Klette and velcro is Klettverschluss (= burdock fastener). In Norwegian burdock is borre and velcro borrelås which translates to burdock lock."




Yes I knew all that KM  

Still a stupid name though.
