Did you ever wonder if bees have hearts?

Do their little bee hearts beat faster as they approach the hive, all excited to get dancing?

If bees don't have hearts, how do they move the ... bee fluid ... around? How does a bee even work!? Are they just little hard plastic shells, with a bunch of honey inside? Maybe with a little compartment to keep the stinger dry?

Life is full of mysteries like this. And it's only when we do science that we can learn the secret of how they got the bee fluid to move around. That's why science is important.

I consider myself a scientist, because I ask those types of hard-hitting questions. Some of the other interesting questions I ask myself include:

1. Why are avocadoes laughably convenient to scoop out with a spoon? Are they proof of the existence of God?
   
   
2. How does Salmonella get inside an uncracked egg?
   
   
3. Why do bananas have those stringy things, and why do they cause involuntary gagging when I happen to touch one?
4. Corollary: Are bananas proof of the existence of a vengeful God that hates mankind?
5. Am I rich enough that when mankind begins to destroy itself from the inside out, I'll make the team and be part of the good society? Or am I still too poor that I'll suffer with the plebs? What is the cut off?
   
   
6. How come my contact lenses don't get creases in them when I pick them up?
7. Is it best to hide my toothbrush in my medicine cabinet, or leave it in the open, where toilet particle might land on it?
8. If I waxed my entire body, would I be a happier person?
9. When the poor waxing girl who is just trying to pay her way through collegs gets to waxing between my butt cheeks, should I make jokes to lighten the mood?
10. Why are racoons so grabby?
    
    
11. What is the tensile strength of a mountain goat's antlers and neck?
    
    

Clearly, there is much in this world that we don't yet know. Like the insides of a bee filled with mysterious bee fluid, our lives are filled with uncertainty.

Mitch out.

haha - lordscience /David W. Jones, 2009-11-18, 15:26:57 lordscience wonders similar thoughts in regards to raccoons big horned sheep and waxing...

Deep ! - Robbie, 2009-11-19, 08:20:34 Good to see you plunging back into the depths of human thought. This is *way* more interesting than bench presses and lap times.

Three Cheers for Robbie - Tim, 2009-11-19, 08:44:40 All the exercise talk on your website made me sleepy. Nice work on getting back to the important stuff. I can't say I ever wondered what the tensile strength of a goat's neck and antlers was, but I sure do now. Your question regarding salmonella reminds me of this Fail: http://failblog.org/2009/11/17/facebook-bet-fail/

Fox, 2009-11-23, 12:51:54 Why do engineers get paid lots of cash to sit at their desks and update their personal websites when teachers get paid shit to mold the fragile minds of the next generation?

next waxing appointment - PRS, 2009-11-27, 12:19:02 when the waxing person gets to waxing between your butt crack you should let out the biggest fart humanily possible. I would also recommend an all protein diet for a week before to make sure you've got the smell 'just right'. Now *that* should lighten the mood! And probably she will be so impressed you'll score a date right there too.

more food for thought - prs, 2009-12-01, 12:29:10 Exactly how long is "a cotton picking minute"?
