Giant Hornets!

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!

ha!

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.
