Second story in the 1982 movie Creepshow."The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill"(Second story, originally titled "Weeds", adapted from a previously published short story written by Stephen King)Jordy Verrill (played by Stephen King), a dimwitted backwoods yokel, thinks that a newly discovered meteorite will provide enough money from the local college to pay off his $200 bank loan. Instead, he finds himself being overcome by a rapidly spreading plant-like organism that begins growing on his body after he touches a glowing green substance within the meteorite. Jordy is eventually cautioned by the ghost of his father (Bingo O'Malley) not to take a bath. But when the itching from the growth on his skin becomes unbearable, Jordy succumbs to temptation and collapses into the bathwater. By the next morning, Jordy and his farm have been completely covered with dense layers of the hideous alien vegetation. In despair, he reaches for a shotgun and literally blows the top of his head off. A radio weather forecast announces that heavy rains are predicted and the audience is left with the dire expectation that this will accelerate the spread of the extraterrestrial plant growth to surrounding areas.

Why does a cactus have spikes on it?

Desert Plants adapt to their environment by trying to reduce the amount of water lost through the leaves. At some point long ago, the leaves of desert plants got thinner and thinner until they turned spiny. Desert plants are also very good at storing water because there is so little rain that falls in the desert which is why they have such fat trunks.

How can arid land be turned into arable land?

Arid land can be turned arable to at least a large portion of crops by irrigation. In fact, canals have been used by desert people for thousands of years to irrigate their farmlands. These include the Mesopotamians (in the Middle East), who grew dates and wheat, as well as Native American groups like the Navajo, who grew beans, corn, and squash. However, some plants don't grow well in desert soil or the heat of the desert. Soil can be altered using fertilizers or compost, but little can be done about temperature. However, the process of changing desert soil is obviously too expensive to be used on a commercial scale.
