Giant Hornets: Nature's Little Zionist Imperialists

Today is apparently random link day.

With a Martin Sheen-sounding ominous narrative, and music by turn martial and tragic, giant hornets invade and slaughter a nest of bees.

I don't know why I'm behaving this way. I don't don't do this for a living.

Thanks to Nathan.

Old. By, like, at least a year.

That is some nasty, brutal shit. Kind of like what I'd like to see happen to all terrorists and its supporters, like the MSM.

Ace,

Didn't you know that you aren't allowed to speak a negative word about Giant Hornets? Surely you recall that they are the sole species that you have been conditioned against disparaging. Are you trying to get your credentials taken away at the next meeting of the Illuminati?

Or is this all part of your devious joo plan to minimize, through supposed "humor', the plight of the innocent, peace loving, worker bees?

Why the next thing I know, you will be supporting the Zionist Hornets as they construct a paper mache "security wall" to keep those dislocated, west bank bees from buzzing in the illegal Hornet settler communities.

And is it any coincidence that the "Green Hornet" was a TV show hero? We all know who controls the media, don't we?

Ewww! Just saw something similar on NG channel two nights ago. Hornets and wasps must. die. Of course, they showed a type of honey bee that roasts the intruding wasp with their elevated gang- body heat. Survival of the fittest. Heh.

that was awesome!
i like how the bees were torn apart and fell to the ground.
i hate bees.

Posted by: tim on July 14, 2005 05:40 PM

Tim, without bees, you'd have no honey to eat.

Posted by: on July 14, 2005 06:00 PM

simple--pay the hornets a few billion dollars to move their ''settlers'' out of the beehive

Posted by: on July 14, 2005 07:41 PM

Aww. Poor bees. I like honeybees in my garden. They're much better-tempered than the wild kind.

I wonder if the muslim colonization of Europe will eventually lead to that level of carnage.

Posted by: Arifel on July 14, 2005 09:58 PM

Naaah, the Europeans just haven't embraced their inner hornet, yet.
Everything's gonna be alright. Its just going to take a little more time.

Posted by: lauraw on July 14, 2005 10:54 PM

I wonder if they attack killer bees too?

I sure hope so.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on July 15, 2005 09:04 AM

I think discovering the Inner Hornet will be too little, too late, to save the Europeans from thirty years of a-woman's-right-to-choose-to-have-too-few-children-to-field-an-army. Those weren't middle-aged hornets in the video, with waist size 40 and man-breasts; they were teenage hornets who wanted to kill the bees so they could drink the honey and screw the queen. Europeans don't have many teenagers, so discovering the Inner Hornet won't be enough to save them. Throwing away their women's birth control pills and fucking them silly might do the trick, but if they started today, it would still be twenty years before they could field an army.

I've just indirectly given you the likely explanation as to why Donald Rumsfeld wants to rely on technology and strategy instead of large numbers of men for America's future military might. The U.S. isn't in Europe's dire straits, but American women pop pills and know their way around an abortion clinic, too. It shows up in the low fertility rate.

Meanwhile, Islam keeps making new muslims and exporting them to Europe and the U.S. An important part of standing up to Islam in the long run is having enough unbelievers to do it. That's going to involve some men fucking some women and making them pregnant. It won't do much for women's careers, but then no one's going to remember their career "accomplishments," anyway.

Posted by: Arifel on July 15, 2005 11:41 AM

Notice that at the end of the video, there's peace and harmony, and everybody's united. Hurray for unity and peace and harmony!

Posted by: Arifel on July 15, 2005 11:55 AM

You're an interesting critter, Arifel.

Posted by: lauraw on July 15, 2005 11:57 AM

That's going to involve some men fucking some women and making them pregnant.

I don't know what it's for, but count me in. And don't tell anyone about my vasectomy either, don't wanna spoil the fun.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on July 15, 2005 12:04 PM

Yeah, I'm pretty far out there, lauraw. I only disclose myself in places like the comments of weblogs, because authenticity in my daily life would be socially ruinous.

Nota bene: I have to correct the spelling of my "name" to "Arafel."

Posted by: Arafel on July 15, 2005 11:21 PM

Loose shit man, loose shit.

Posted by: NF on July 16, 2005 10:49 PM

Yeah, NF, "Arafel" is "the cloud-darkness of holy judgment," but "Arifel" is just, as you say, "loose shit."

In more marketing for Project Hail Mary, scientists say they've found the biosigns indicating life growing on an alien planet. It's not proof, just signatures of chemicals that are produced by biological metabolism, and it could be nothing, but scientists think it's a strong sign that this planet is inhabited by something.
In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of scientists announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide (along with a similar detection of dimethyl disulfide) in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is actually the second detection of dimethyl sulfide made on this planet, following a tentative detection in 2023.
Tons of chemicals are detected in the atmospheres of celestial objects every day. But dimethyl sulfide is different, because on Earth, it's only produced by living organisms.
"It is a shock to the system," Nikku Madhusudhan, first author on the paper, told the New York Times. "We spent an enormous amount of time just trying to get rid of the signal."

He means they tried to prove the signal was caused by things other than dimethyl sulfide but they could not.

Great marketing arranged by Amazon to promote Project Hail Mary. Okay not really but it does work out that way.
What? Skeleton of the most famous Musketeer, D'Artagnan, possibly discovered in Dutch church closet.
Dumas picked four names of real musketeers out of a history book, D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. So there was an actual D'Artagnan, though he made most of the story up. (Or, you know, all of it.)*
Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known as d'Artagnan, the famous musketeer of Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV, spent his life in the service of the French crown.
The Gascon nobleman inspired Alexandre Dumas's hero in "The Three Musketeers" in the 19th century, a character now known worldwide thanks to the novel and numerous film adaptations.
D'Artagnan was killed during the siege of Maastricht in 1673, and there is a statue honoring the musketeer in the city. His final resting place has remained a mystery ever since.

A lot of Dumas's stories are based on bits of real history. The plot of the >Three Musketeers, about trying to recover lost diamonds from the queen's necklace, was cribbed from the then-almost-contemporaneous Affair of the Queen's Necklace. And the Man in the Iron Mask is based on real accounts of a prisoner forced to wear a mask (though I think it was a velvet mask).
* Oh, I should mention, Dumas says all this, about finding the names in an old book, in the prologue to his novel. But authors lie a lot. They frequently present fictions as based on historic fact. The twist is, he was actually telling the truth here. At least about these four musketeers having actually existed and served under Louis XIV.
Fun fact: You know the beginning of A Fistful of Dollars where the local gunslingers make fun of Clint Eastwood's donkey and Eastwood demands they apologize to the donkey? That's lifted from The Three Musketeers. Rochefort mocks D'Artagnan's old, brokedown farm horse and D'Artagnan is incensed.
A commenter asked which should be read first, The Hobbit of LOTR?
Easy, no question -- read The Hobbit first. It's actually the start of the story and comes first chronologically. It sets up some major characters and major pieces in play in LOTR.
Also, the Hobbit is Beginner-Friendly, which LOTR isn't. The Hobbit really is a delightful book, and a fast read. It's chatty, it's casual, it's exciting, and it's funny. In that dry cheeky British humor way. I love that the narrator is constantly making little asides and commentary, like he's just sitting next to you telling you this story as it occurs to him.
LOTR is a very long story. Fifteen hundred pages or so. The Hobbit is relatively short and very punchy and easy to read. If you don't like The Hobbit, you can skip out on LOTR. If you do like it, you'll be primed to read LOTR.
Oh, I should say: The Hobbit is written as if it's for children, but one of those smart children's stories that are also for adults. Don't worry, there's also real fighting and violence and horror in it, too.
LOTR is written for adults. (It's said that Tolkien wrote both for his children, but LOTR was written 17 years later, when his children were adults.) Some might not like The Hobbit due to its sometimes frivolous tone. Me, I love it. I find it constantly amusing. Both are really good but there is a starkly different tone to both. LOTR is epic, grand, and serious, about a world war, The Hobbit is light and breezy, and about a heist. Though a heist that culminates in a war for the spoils.
The Hobbit Challenge: Read two more chapters. I didn't have much time. Bilbo got the ring.
I noticed a continuity problem. Maybe. Now, as of the time of The Hobbit, it was unknown that this magic ring was in fact a Ring of Power, and it was doubly unknown that it was the Ring of Power, the Master Ring that controlled the others.
But the narrator -- who we will learn in LOTR was none of than Bilbo himself, who wrote the book as "There and Back Again" -- says this about Gollum's ring:
"But who knows how Gollum had come by that present [the Ring], ages ago in the old days when such rings were still at large in the world? Perhaps even the Master who ruled them could not have said."
In another passage, the ring is identified as a "ring of power."
I don't know, I always thought there was a distinction between mere magic rings and the Rings of Power created by Sauron. But this suggests that Bilbo knew this was a ring of power created by Sauron.
Now I don't remember when Bilbo wrote the Hobbit. In the movie, he shows Frodo the book in Rivendell, and I guess he wrote it after he left the Shire. I guess he might have added in the part about the ring being a ring of power created by "the Master" after Gandalf appraised him of his research into the ring.
I never noticed this before. I know Tolkien re-wrote this chapter while he was writing LOTR to make the ring important from the start. And also to make Gollum more sinister and evil, and also to remove the part where Gollum actually offers Bilbo the ring as a "present" -- Bilbo had already found it on his own, but Gollum was wiling to give it away, which obviously is not something the rewritten Gollum would ever do.
But I had no memory of the ring being suggested to be The Ring so early in the tale.

Tomorrow is March 25th, "Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book. I think I'm going to start the Hobbit tomorrow and read all four books this time.
The only bad part of the trilogy are the Frodo/Sam chapters in The Two Towers. They're repetitive, slow, and mostly about the weather and terrain. But most everything else is good. Weirdly, the Frodo-Sam chapters in Return of the King are exciting and action-packed and among the best in the trilogy. (Though the chapters with everyone else in Return of the King get pretty slow again. Mostly people talking about marching towards war, and then marching towards war.)
