Humor from here I seem to remember some st. college having a campus paper named Kudzu.

Kudzu
By Jane Linton
Covers Dixie Like The Dew
This vine is believed to cover more than 7 million acres in the South. That 'Kudzu covers Dixie like the dew' is no idle statement. Propagating at the rate of a foot (or more) a day, kudzu is like a runaway locomotive. I've heard it said that Southern mothers will keep a close eye on their children while they sleep in the summer to keep them from being choked to death by the night creeper vine...... It's said that a country family went on a two week vacation, and when they returned, the country road which had not been traveled while they were away, was covered with kudzu and they lost their way home...... An escaped prisoner fled into a kudzu patch and is still unaccounted for....
