Pancake

It seems that stapling lotus leaves all over the roof of my house could be a good idea. Turns out they are nanotechnological wonders of the biological world, representing the plant kingdoms best. The flowers and stuff are all coated with nanoparticles which cause like irridescence and shed both water and dirt in a most efficient manner. Which would be way cool. Like aliens they love the shiny. They'd be using their UV and super stealthy passive IR systems to scope out the region and they'd bee all like whoa, check out that place. Then they'd come to visit and chill in my sweet lotus covered pad. I'd offer them pancakes as a token of friendship. We'd chat, eat, eat some more, decide to take a quick spin out to Barnard's Star to check out the sweet red-shifting action there, and pop back home in time for sunrise and waffles. Too bad they can't stay for waffles. They would like waffles.
