Titanic Terrarium references\n\n"Growing up in a biosphere\nNo respect for bad weather"\n\nAs Most know, Biospheres are enclosed reproductions of the Earth\'s unique atmosphere and environment.\n\nHip Head Chris Janzen may have figured this out:\n"Heard something on the radio a few days ago that the line \'no respect for bad weather\' seems to reference. In Biosphere 2, none of the trees could hold their own weight due to the fact that they\'d had no exposure to wind."\n\n(This link contained some info about such. Click it. Maybe it still works: https://www.mindbounce.com/trivia/the-absence-of-wind-in-the-biosphere-2-research-lab-proved-severely-detrimental-to/ \n\n"The trees grown in Biosphere 2, in the absence of the nearly constant and variable action of the wind upon their trunks and branches, failed to grow the stress wood that would help them stand strong."\n\n "...There\'s a trace of mint wafting in from the North\nso we don\'t fuck with the 401"\n\nThe 401 is the busiest highway in Canada and runs east and west across the province of Ontario. It\'s notorious for its traffic, especially in the Greater Toronto Area, so motorists who can avoid messing with it, do. \n\nThanks to the kindness of Jennifer Baichwal, Gord himself solved the mystery:\n\n"Mint equals cold. Winter/storm coming, so don’t do the drive on the 401— snow, blizzard,"\n\nI actually got this from a website that is EVERYTHING HIP! \nI go there often .... \nIt\'s called: http://www.hipmuseum.com
