Did anyone see the documentary on nasty bugs the other day? Well anyways they left the nastiest motherfuckers to end which were the Japanese Giant Hornets. These babies are fucking huge like 5 times a honey bee. I'm talking big motherfuckers.
The whole scene was set on camera. These 2 nutters, fully pretected of course, went into the dead zone - basically a hornets nest. When these nutters arrived there were just like to guards sitting outside the nest, this is how dangerous they are, but eventually about 15 arrived to attack the human intruders. And these hornets are evil, they sprey, I mean sprey their mix of 12 nasty toxic chemicals. It was so potent that the guy under his protection said he could smell it. And they have powerful jaws too and were like trying to bite into his protective clothes. So anyway to cut to the chase the guy had enough and they bailed out eventually. Reason got the better of them. Lol.
Anyway it takes only 30 giant hornets to decimate an entire nest of 30,000 honey bees and they can do that in a mere hour. This is the most dangerous insect on the planet!

In Japan's mountain villages, the hornets are valued as part of the basic diet. They are eaten deep fried, or even as hornet sashimi.
Their venom is also used in a sports drink!

I used to be at war with wasps, bee's & hornets. I was playing in my garden, I was about 6 years old when I was mugged and raped by some of these winged gits. After that attack followed 3 years of battle, but I was youung and stupid and finally learned to leave them alone, even if they did not leave me alone.

hehe, it's not the venom that's used (that would probably be fatal), it's a synthetic form of the saliva that the larva secrete. :)

The Honey bees do have a defence though (see below)
Take from the BBC. "Japanese bees make mass attack on hornets. In Japan, ferocious giant hornets can devastate hives of European honey bees killing thousands in a few hours. But if they pick on the wrong hive they can meet their match. Japanese bees ball together around a hornet and their frenzied buzzing heats the hornet to the critical deadly temperature of 45°C. Bees can tolerate temperatures up to 48°C, a tiny but crucial advantage of three degrees that allows them to overcome their killer."

I think it is some sort of secret code that hackers/crackers used to talk in to avoid authorities finding their web pages via conventional search terms. But i'm not sure. Someone here will no doubt correct me.

well when you put it like that, it actually sounds like it has a purpose.. and that would be good... I always thought it was just a nerdy thing that hackers did... like spell differently to signal that they were too good to talk like the rest of us.

hehe, it's all good, for some reason I get excited when people have cool combinations as their number of posts.. actually I'm aware that it isn't even that cool, but 12345 takes a long time to get too, so it's a pretty big one in my book.

It's best you don't know what lengths I went to, to obtain a copy of that picture, as it would only add to your view of my insanity. Lets just say it involved £27, a length of rope, 4 monkeys and some sticky back plastic.
