Wow: you can knock out a plant with anesthetics - the same anesthetics that work on people!

It's easist to see for plants that move, like a Venus fly trap. But experiments have shown it's true for others too.

We're still struggling to figure out what this means. We don't really know how anesthetics like ether and chloroform work, but here's a clue: you don't need to have neurons to get anesthetized!

@NatureMC - indeed it's a strange world we live in now.
