This is pretty hilarious. Some guy in Findlay has lost his mind and insists the state change the official tree to anything other than the bisexual Buckeye tree. Check it:

Yeah, I saw this a while back, and the comments from it chalk it up as satire. I thought it was funny...

OOOOOoooh yes you can.
My favorite buckeyes in the world; producing the most picture-perfect buckeyes I have ever seen, line the right side of the 9th fairway at the University of Michigan Golf Course.
{Photo borrowed from a Western Michigan football season preview-page, after they borrowed it from us, apparently.}
M Man, that has to burn your britches seeing Buckeyes on the golf course at AACC. If there were wolverines running around the Scarlet or Gray courses they would have been exterminated by now.
dude... they're plants... plants don't obey the sexual rules that animals do... at all... what a moron
Cause I couldn't go for three
Only when I get greedy, hit driver off the tee, leave it out to right, and get blocked on my second shot. Otherwise, it is really fun to see them grow through the summer. They really are weird trees/fruit. They don't look like buckeyes when they are growing...
M-Man - you should play the Scarlet course sometime, designed by world renowned architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie (who designed Augusta national with Bobby Jones). It's an awesome track, recently updated by Jack Nicklaus to make it even awesome-er.....The Grey course is no slouch either (according to Judge Smails)....
"Bisexual or perfect flowers have both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) reproductive units, including stamens, carpels, and an ovary. Flowers that contain both androecium and gynoecium are called androgynous or hermaphroditic. Examples of plants with perfect or bisexual flowers include the lily, rose, and most plants with large showy flowers, though perfect flower does not have to have petals or sepals." -Wiki
This guy is in trouble. He may start to freek out when he finds out most plants are part of the freeky side.
Aesculus (pronounced S-Q-LUS) is the genus of our beloved Buckeye tree.
"The Ohio buckeye is the state tree of Ohio, and its name is an original term of endearment for the pioneers on the Ohio frontier, with specific association with William Henry Harrison. Capt. Daniel Davis[3] of the Ohio Company of Associates, under Gen. Rufus Putnam, traversed the wilderness in the spring of 1788, and began the settlement of Ohio. Davis was said to be the second man ashore at Point Harmar, 7 April 1788, and he declared later that he cut the first tree felled by a settler west of the Ohio River, a "buckeye" tree. Additionally, Colonel Ebenezer Sproat, another founder of that same pioneer city of Marietta, had a tall and commanding presence; he greatly impressed the local Indians, who in admiration dubbed him “Hetuck”, meaning eye of the buck deer, or Big Buckeye.[4][5] Subsequently, the word is used as the nickname and colloquial term for people from the state of Ohio[6] and The Ohio State University's sports teams. The Ohio State University adopted "Buckeyes" officially by the school as its nickname in 1950,[7] and came to be applied to any student or graduate of the university." -Wiki

m man what is your address? I will send you a bag full of buckeyes from my back yard and its no problem I hand these out to tsun fans all the time. :)
O H I O is the Buckeye State
Michigan can't get enough of OSU, can't win with players from Michigan, all their best players are usually Ohioans, they confuse Ohio w/ Ohio State (hopefully last years Bball tourney helped with that confusion), they even have to go after coaches born and raised in Ohio. Geesh, you'd think they could do something with their own state for once.
I'm comfortable enough with my manhood to say it: the buckeye is a damn fine looking tree nut.
Been there. Looks great. A really great facility.
Did you know that like OSU, the UMGC is also an Alister Mackenzie design? Together, they are two of the rare works of golf architecture in the entire nation. Two of the best golf courses in all of college golf, and the only two Mackenzie designs.
Frankly, I think the Scarlet Course is the better tournament golf course in the 21st century, with the update and the length and a regular Nationwide Tour event. But the Michigan course is the better-preserved example of historical Mackenzie/Maxwell design.
No, But Wolvereen (from Xmen) son is. Draken or something like that? True story.
Not much going on in Findlay if dude is this flipped out about a tree's "sexual orientation."v (YOU HAVE ISSUES! *CLAP**CLAP*CLAP CLAP CLAP*, repeat as desired)
You mean I can use that Landscape Hort minor from across the river...
Aesculus Glabra or Ohio Buckeye is the official name of the honorable tree which has been declared awesome by this great state. Leaves consist of five leaflets on a longer stem. Also they tend to look pretty bad in the mid summer (makes me think of UFM talking about the team last summer) as they suffer in hightemps and dry spells. Lots leaf burn and bugs eatting them. As for the pollenation method yes the flowers have both types of parts making them "bi-sexual." Also the fruit is a slightly prickley husk usually enclosing two to three nuts (buckeyes) dropping about mid September. Note that if you have a husk covered in needle like spikes its a horsechesnut tree, not a true Buckeye tree but the fruit can pass off as "buckeyes" as only a trained eye can tell the difference. Finally if you still cant tell, and this is true, if you scratch the bark and it smells really bad... you're probably looking at a Glabra.
