Eleven things about Hemlock Grove

Ed Williamson

18th April 2013

While browsing Digital Spy today I noticed a feature called 'Ten things about Henry Cavill'. Not 'ten remarkable things', you'll notice. Just things. Inside I found what was essentially his Wikipedia page split into a ten-strong bullet list with exclamation marks added. So if there's no need to pretend your points have value as long as they're in a list, it stands to reason that a longer list means a better feature. Here, then, are eleven things about Hemlock Grove.

Hemlock is a poisonous plant!

Conium is a genus of one or two species of highly poisonous perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the family Apiaceae! Native to Europe and the Mediterranean region as Conium maculatum (known popularly as Hemlock)! And to southern Africa as Conium chaerophylloides!
The word Grove is also in the word Grover!
