Doom
In order to survive in a nitrogen-poor soil, some plants have become carnivorous, such as the venus fly trap and the pitcher plant. They use pheremones to attract insects and then dissolve and feast on their crunchy, delicious flesh.
Interesting fact: lightning storms lay down heaps of nitrogen.

My Favorite Plum
That's the name of a song by Suzanne Vega. It's not one of her best, but I've listened to it probably eight hundred times. My best friend and I listened to that CD on repeat for a good several years, because between us we owned maybe three.
