The Buzz

Thanks to Larry Bort for mailing in today's news item about the Turkish bees. Long story short, a truck with bees in it crashed and the bees stung the living shit out of the survivors and rescue workers. No video available.

Got stung by my first bee about a month ago. Another useless item off my list. I accidentally sat on the fucker, which it apparently wasn't a big fan of. Hurt less than I thought and the bump went away in just a few days. No big deal. How little things like bees can make humans freak out captures our species paradox beautifully. An elephant can take on a pack of tigers to protect it's young, but God forbid a mouse should cross its path.
