kelticwizard Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'm not ready for it but the articles I've seen have me shook. They say they should be LOUD. There's been some advances in headphones in the last 17 years, I imagine those lightweight models which specialize in blocking out surrounding sound should fly off the shelves. People are going to want to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are going to want to sleep. I just bought my house the last time they came up. DUDE!!!! The gigantic sycamore in my yard was almost too loud to approach. Not even kidding. The sound stayed ringing in your ears for about 5 minutes after you got in the car. Luckily a storm knocked half the tree down on my fence and the rest I had taken down. LOL The sound these things make is nuts. YET.. After they die off the carcasses are cool too run over with the lawn mower. BONUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 48° in the middle of the afternoon today. At the rate this winter and "spring" is progressing, we might not have to worry about cicadas until the 4th of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelticwizard Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 While we're on the subject of evolution, nobody has ever explained why this old science fiction story can't be true: If primates evolved, why haven't dogs, cats, tigers, etc also evolved just as much and aren't they waiting for the right moment to suddenly kill us all and take over.

JerryK Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 How do bees fly? Good question. Not sure. And how did flies get to be named after flying? They should be called nasties. Birds and Bees are more deserving of the honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds and Bees are more deserving of the honor. If birds were flies, flies would be sh*t birds no? According to science, bees are a miracle.

And, if we follow the IAU's criteria used to demote Pluto, then this rock we're floating about on doesn't qualify to be a planet, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
