Actually it was all of them. The Solanum wars of Saturn were vicious.Innocent Bystander wrote:I don't understand: Just exactly how did the potato shape the moon of Saturn? Which Potato? Was it a Romano, a Maris Piper or a King Edward? I'll put money on it being a Golden Wonder...
The potatoes were the main instigators, but the occasional egg plant clade
was known to help out their cause. What we now call Romano, King Edward,
and Yukon Gold were perhaps the most intelligent of the many Solanum
on the planet and encouraged some of the more peace loving of their
kind out to Janus to build a peaceful colony.
Centuries passed and Saturn’s problems worsened. The planet was
almost reduced to nothing but a poisonous, gaseous wasteland. The last
spiteful survivors decided to use its last weapons on the Janus colony.
The land on Janus was devastated and pitted with craters when the
attack was over.
Fortunately, the colony realized that this was inevitable and were able to
escape to the planet earth before the missile strike.
Time on earth was peaceful and they continued to increase their intelligence
to a very high level. Their thought process became so advanced that
we cannot comprehend their thoughts and so we mistakenly consider
them non-thinking beings. Meanwhile their devotion to peace became
so strong that they decided to stop killing things to survive, but instead
live off of the sun’s rays and not even defend themselves against attack,
(though the belladonna clade has long thought that this position was a bit
extreme).
To this day, many of the Solanum commemorate their flight from Janus
by displaying a flower in the shape of their rocket, pointing to earth,
during lift off.

I have a nation of my own: http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=44120

An issue came up that I dealt with by simply keeping the press completely free. My advisor tried to talk me into nationalizing the press, so I wouldn’t have to deal with issues such as; “At least we won't have to issue ANOTHER public statement to tell everyone you're not a hyper-intelligent aubergine.”
I looked up aubergine and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggplant
Now I know how that rumor got started!
