Meet “Meet Eater”, a Queensland garden being kept alive by Facebook. Planted by University of Queensland student Bashkim Isai, Meet Eater is in the grounds of the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane — and it has quite the fan club. The garden is rigged with a system that monitors social interaction on the internet and feeds or waters it in response. Giving a new meaning to the term “news feed”, Meet Eater is watered whenever someone writes on its Facebook wall or stops by to say hello. The garden also answers some messages from fans and “cries” when it wants attention.

There are plenty of other things he should be doing, but most of the time he's dreaming of what he'll do when he grows up while watching bad Star Trek spin-offs.
