It was either in Michigan, Wisconsin, Vermont, or in a SkyMall... I don't think that narrowed it down any. But it is certainly a strange idea. I’ve seen those message seed/plants.

It's probably important to note that the buffalo has never been a chia -- the website/group is supposedly lobbying for permission to temporarily 'chiafy' it. So the Chiaffalo isn't "the end result" as stated -- it's what they hope would be the end result if they were ever able to maintain permission to attempt it. They make no mention on the site of how they plan to do it, etc. Also, I can't imagine them getting permission to mess with the buffalo after it's gone through a several thousand dollar restoration. I'm assuming this is just an idea they're just doing for fun and a little bit of notiriety (It did get them on M_F, afterall!). It is a clever idea, but I seriously douubt it will ever happen.
