Well, yes.
Perhaps a little succint.
What sort of tree? Should it be one that has a bird's nest in it?
Fruit? (because of the dangers of discovering gravity)
Oh, and I'm sure you could add some links

A good example of the post-modern penta-syllablic form. You need to make it clearer, though. Is it:
*Sit* under a tree
Sit *under* a tree
Sit under *a* tree, or
Sit under a *tree*

Don't set sail!
I mentioned mal-de-mer in my recent 42 Uses for Sawdust entry, and someone asked for the translation, while it was in PR.
I think "mal-de-mer" is more commonly used than (the term) seasickness, because seasick could mean you're sick of the sight of the sea (if you live by the seaside) and mal-de-mer literally means "sickness of the sea" so really, you should think about changing the title. 
This would be a doddle to sub, methinks.

What the heck would happen to "Mostly Harmless" in PR?

U168592 Posted Aug 7, 2007
Ah...see, that's already gone through PR. It was 'Harmless'.

Should you choose to expand the Entry it may be worth noting that this was Spike Milligan's favoured method.

Ah, Spine Maligna, that well-known typing error. It's quite possible that's where I first came across this.

And alas it doesn't always work - I've been on a ship with trees on it - in pots.

Well I'm sorry, a tree in a pot is a pot-plant and the fact that your sea-sickness wasn't cured is further proof of this.

You've got an added space after the A-number of the first link - it needs removing.
