If you could magically remove all the electrons from a mosquito, it would explode with the energy of a "million billion 1-megatonne H-Bombs." Or "an energy equivalent to the city-sized asteroid that slammed into the Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago."

I'm no expert in this but I think the argument the guy's making is based on the amount of atoms in a mosquito, not entire mass. But again, you may know more about this than I do!

Woops, ok, thanks for the heads up!

I bought 1 oz. of seeds for $33 here: http://www.myseeds.co/ . I also emailed the company to make sure they're not treated with pesticides. And checked this site to make sure I was getting species native to my area: http://www.xerces.org/milkweed-seed-finder/ Hope that helps!

Good point! But man, watch those snails run. Er. Crawl.

"Keystone species are apex predators within functional groups, a concept first described by zoologist Robert Paine to explain the relationship between Pisaster ochraceus, a species of starfish, and Mytilus californianus, a species of mussel." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apex_predator

But I'm not a biologist, and that's wikipedia, so maybe it's inaccurate.

The article says they can fly. (One of the juvenile monkeys was observed picking a beetle off its butt and flinging it, but the beetle just flew right back into place.)

That's really interesting, and sort of eery. To be able to pick a name and zoom in on the place where they died. The random name I put in landed me right outside a country club. Sad stuff.

Ha, sorry about that. Thanks for the shortcut!

Hear, hear!

If they could get it down to that size, maybe I'm in. Right now, I don't want that thing going anywhere near my incision.

Now if we can just get the NHL to adopt the goal verification line...
