Strange question!

Hey!
We have just learnt about moss in biology, and one of the girls in my class asked a question which seemed silly at the time, but is one i'd be interested to know the answer to.
Since a moss plant e.g. Polytrichum has sperms that are able to swim in liquid as the human sperm is, could a human get pregnant from a moss? I mean, in a laboratory setting if they fused the moss sperm with a human egg.
Its a very strange question I know! But It would be interesting to know if plant and animal gametes could fuse and form something.
Thanx!
