"Scientist's Bizarre Experiment: Self-Cannibalism for Venus Flytrap"
Barry Rice, an astronomy professor and botanist, conducted an experiment to determine if Venus flytraps can digest human flesh. Using chunks of his own skin affected by athlete's foot, Rice fed them to four different Venus flytraps. After a week, the traps opened, and to his surprise, the skin chunks were almost completely digested. The remaining residue was gooey and slimy, with a strange hue shift to bacon color.
