Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

am I missing something here?

From the way the story is told it seems he had no idea that there was whole hive under his BBQ when he planted the 'bomb'.

Not ideal wiping out a whole hive but from what I gather he didn't do it on purpose.

That is crazy. I'd love chucking that kind of thing onto a fire though.

With a hive of that size the ammount of bees coming and going would be pretty noticable (he had noticed), this would have suggested more than a few bees.

He didn't give a shit and just wanted to kill things. I hope he gets stung on the ball bag. Not by a bee though as it would die.

That's what I took from it too

He wanted to get rid of the bees around so he could use his BBQ. There is a difference between that and finding a hive and setting it on fire.

I'm not condoning his actions but from the information available he's not the psychopath you're all making him out to be.

Also, is it alright to kill just a couple of bees on your BBQ? Why don't we all go the whole hog and become buddhists?

When it comes to bees I'm as Buddhist as they come.

This is what I want for Christmas.

do bees have more right to be alive because they produce honey?

What if they produced crack? Just putting that out there people.

ok guys.
as much fun as it is to watch this place descend into massive rows about every little thing, I'm kinda bored.

The bees are dead, its sad, because as has been said many a time recently, bees are dwindling, esp in the states, but no amount of whinging is going to make them come back to life, so forget it.

Also, even if you win this argument here, the majority of people still see bees and other stinging insects as nuisances, and this will probably never change, so people will always kill the bees- to minorly improve their own personal lives.

I myself have killed bees before, as I'm sure many of you have done too.
I tend to try and get them out of the room for a very long time beforehand, but there comes a point where the time taken is just too much and a swift death will allow me to get on with my work.

I'm buying that for my dad, he really to get some bees.

Wibble- its not the honey- its the pollination that they can do, that is important.

@ ftony.
thanks. back to memes please.

So their usefulness makes them more worthy of life than say a spider?

Forgive me, I'm in a funny mood today.

back to the memes, that paedobear santa pic is actually much funnier in it's original form.

maybe it is, but i couldn't help it. crap potatochopping by yours truly too, but such is life.

I don't ever kill spiders.
I fucking love the little bastards.
Always put them outside, they're very useful.

Actually- its their dwindling numbers that makes them worth saving- the loss of bee- pollination would severely affect some crop that's important, but I don't remember which- it was in New Scientist* a while ago.

*much of my knowledge stems from this magazine.

I murder spiders in cold blood. Or trans-fluid or whatever they have.

^That's supposed to bring you bad luck with money, spiders are money.

Holy shit, that's why I'm always broke!

they run on solar power.

they run on solar power.

Only the ones made after 2005.

Umm, my anger is directed at the fact that it's pretty impossible to buy/find decent swarms at the moment, think of it like drilling a rare track fork/frame.

true.. when they closed down the Japanese factory in 2003 the fossil fuels were done with.

Massive LOL at 'buying a swarm of bees'

haemo-lymph, I think. It's like all-weather lube, or something.
