Rob Baur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rob Baur of Lake Oswego, Oregon is an operations analyst in an Oregon waste-water facility. He gained attention for allegedly creating a tomacco in 2003 by grafting a tomato plant onto the roots of a tobacco plant. The creation was said to be inspired by a 1999 episode of the Simpsons containing a fictitious description of the tomacco. Although he is said to have believed such a thing were possible because of a 1959 biology study he read in graduate school.
