The Official Start of "Get off Me"

I learned something interesting yesterday from Charlie Gibson. Did you know that in the start of fall, when the leaves begin to change color and fall that it's not because the leaves are dying due to cold. It's because the tree is sending enzimes to the leaves telling them to "get off me".
Apparently, the tree tells the leaves to get off, and then slowly pushes them off. Of course, I don't have all the scientific information, but I did not realize that the leaves were being forced off the tree. Wow. That Charlie Gibson, he's so smart. Even smarter now that he's calling himself Charles.

Heres a little article on the topic.
