Ok, I was going to shut up, but I couldn't avoid passing on one more set
of links, the main one from a plant path web page.  Who could resist a
singalong with "Good King Nematode" or "Ghost worms in the sky"  or "Viva
la nematode" or (to tune of "It's a small world") "An attempt to put
Pratylenchus into perspective": see
http://mgd.orst.edu/hyperSQL/squiggles/songs.html. 

Or how about some limericks: There was an old dodder from Bombay
                             Who looked for a new place to stay.
                             He chose a young thyme,
                             Who quickly declined
                             To feed an old dodder that way...

Main page to find this, and many, many other goodies about plant
diseases: http://www.ifgb.uni-hannover.de/extern/ppigb

The silly stuff is in the "end of the year message" link.
