#29 that's a pretty interesting one. as i understand it, bees evolved twice. the original ones went extinct when that asteroid hit the gulf of mexico 65 million years ago... and later on the current group evolved. bees mark II.

note: we better hope bees don't go extinct again, or we'll be in heap big trouble for crop production.

#47 that's awesome. much genetic diversity depends on us giving back precious resources like this to the animals we've robbed of their usual freedom of movement.

#48 i'm pretty sure it's just mick jagger balancing on a stem, but i'm willing to accept your crazy story this one time.
