Killer Bees and Earthmovers…What Do They Have in Common?

The Answer is…..absolutely nothing

Made you look.

Shoppers in a Gamestop in New York got a shock the other day when there was a swarm of bees that were keeping them stuck inside the store for a number of hours there was even a sign posted that said “Look!…Closed due to bee infestation”

So this begs the question exactly what is there in a gamestop that attracts a swarm of bees?  Oily Faces? Lots of computer games? Sno-Caps?  Actually Sno-Caps are pretty awesome I can see why bees would swarm for that, and what held their attention that long especially in Manhattan.  I think we need to study these bees, one to find out their attraction to video games, and two what made them so highly organized…Who’s to say that the bees won’t form some evil coalition and begin renting cars, driving to people’s houses, ringing the doorbells then when they answer begin relentlessly stinging them to death.  Or get a rifle and become bee snipers..then they’d really be killer bees.

And it all started with a video game…lets see the hippies work something with that!

And on to the other strange news in the world, a 3 year old bought an earthmover on an auction site.  A mom in New Zealand(I’m still sticking with I want to go to New Zealand even with something like this…though sounds like what I’d do) had bid on some toys then layed down to take a nap.  While she did her 3 year old got on the computer and was still looking at toys and put a bid in for a digger.  When she got on later she found what she’d bid on and discovered she was in fact now the proud owner of a digger…only instead of a toy digger she got a $12,000 real earthmover…so really still a toy just on a grander scale.

Long story short she called and got it all straightened out…but I had to wonder what is up with kids nowadays.  When I was 3 I was interested in playing with toys and not doing anything constructive..and now a 3 year old can work not only a computer online but function on an auction site?!  You’ve got 8 year olds who can probably hack into NASA and remotely pilot the space shuttle at the same age as I was learning to tie my shoes…its just not right! What are they going to be like later on when they start rebelling…instead of staying out late and the like they’re gonna be programming cyborgs to take over the earth or make cars drive themselves or some crazy shit like that.

I say we take them and take their skills and put it to good use.  Like coming up with new models for space exploration and finding out why my Doritos's are nacho cheesier.

Because seriously…its good but I want to know why there’s got to be a reason behind it!
