Oh yeah. Stupid kids. I'm down with lettuce. As to growing things in bottles, you place the bottle over the bud of the fruit when it's small. I've seen the bottles tied to other branches and also seen some weird metal stand-type contraptions to hold the bottles in place.
OK, I was wrong on the balk deal... but, the Grand Canyon is being eroded both in the bottom by the Colorado River and on the sides by wind, rain, etc. It is getting wider, and therefore moving back from where it has been. Same principle as Niagra Falls only different forces and much slower.
For 2, I am going to say Mt. Rushmore. It is probably facing West, so as the earth rotates, it is moving backwords, also, I am not sure how many other landmarks have a clearly defined forwards and backwards.
You have the stem on a piece of wood leading inside the bottle, once the fruit gets big enough all that is needed is to cut the stem and the fruit is inside the bottle.
