Rice more genetically complex that humans

(BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1910000/1910949.stm)) -- According to the research just published, each rice cell contains somewhere in the region of 40,000 to 60,000 genes, while each human cell has only about 30,000 to 40,000 genes.

Isn't it ironic that we battle eachother on who is better when a grain of rain is more complex. Think about it for a moment:

Am guessing you deem "complex" desireable?

On the other hand ... I like to throw rice but, will in the future avoid it being thrown at me?

I need to hand the reading between the lines glasses now, please pardon me.

I think the rice'd do a better job.
