Couldn't have said it any better. People seem to have this urge to put their own strict rules on these types of things. How can you live life like that? Go live in a communist society.
What are you talking about? Even the Enterprise couldn't reach warp 10 unless it slingshot itself around a sun. It's unattainable sort of like unobtainium.
I hate the way Americans seem to think that bees bite. I've lost count of the amount of times I've heard an American on TV "I was bit by a bee!". First of all if you're going to be wrong at least be wrong in a grammatically correct way, the phrase should be "I was bitten by a bee!", not bit by a bee. Secondly bees don't bite, they sting. They don't use their mouth or any tooth like deivce when they hurt you, they're stinging you with the stinger on their butt. Get it right!
Bumblebees and Wasps bite. Not sure about the bumblebees part... dragonflys and horseflys bite too... at least that is how the urban rumors go.
I know that wasps can bite. My friend's grandfather was bitten and stung by a vicious Asian hornet queen and had a heart attack as a result of the insect assault. It was a pretty savage attack as far as a single bug goes. It got under his shirt while he was clearing some brush from a fence and really went to work on the poor guy. By the way, did you know the most painful insect attack is actually an ant sting? The "bullet ant" lives in Nicaragua and Paraguay and can deliver a brutal sting that will put you out of commission in horrendous pain.
Most of the dangerous ants can sting. In fact, the ant I mentioned above has the worst sting of any insect.
The fact remains I've never heard of a bee biting anyone so my point remains valid. Those bullet ants are nasty. I saw a documentary a few years ago about a tribe in the wild somewhere who's rite of passage into manhood involves sticking your arm into a cylinder that holds doezens if not more of those buggers and getting stung to fuck by them. I guess if you survive you're a man. Fucked up shit.
Bicyclists who wear spandex and ride in the road, holding up traffic. Your bike is not a car. I don't care what the law says. Get your ass back on the sidewalk. Next time I see someone doing this I'm going to chuck a bag of dog crap at them.
Male carpenter bees don't have stingers, but they can bite occasionally when angered. I knew someone who was bitten by one, and he said it was very painful. I suppose that makes sense given that they use those mandibles to gnaw through wood.
I've never understood the cyclists that seem to have no fear or awareness of cars. If I'm on a bike, I stay as close to the edge of the road as possible because I do not want to be hit by a car. I certainly don't pull out in front of cars like this jackass. I don't ride a bike at all now that I'm back in the Midwest. I consider it to be too dangerous here. There's no room to ride a bike, and drivers will kill you. When I briefly lived in Davis, CA, there were bike paths and bike racks everywhere. You could get to anywhere in the town easily on a bike. It was also easy to keep your distance from cars. In a few places bikes were even separated from cars on the road by a small median. It was very nice to have a bike there.
Guidos and idiots on cooking shows who trip all over themselves trying to have the most Italian sounding pronunciation of "mozzarella." The most hilarious part of this is that these assclowns wouldn't know what real mozzarella was if it grew teeth and bit them in the ass. Here's a hint, real mozzarella is made with the milk of a water buffalo. That shit you buy at the grocery store made with cow's milk is not real mozzarella and has a completely different taste and texture.
So Tomb Raider is being heaped with praise. It's definitely on my list of games to buy. But it really bugs me when people pronounce her name as "Laura". How long has Tomb Raider been around? Don't think I'm on one of my USA bashing rants again but it seems only Americans say it wrong. Years ago I watched a channel 4 documentary about Tomb Raider and she was originally called Laura Cruise. They changed the surname to Croft to sound more English and the reason they changed her first name from Laura to Lara was because they feared Americans would just pronounce Laura as Lara anyway, so to avoid confusion they called her Lara so everyone would say it right. Now people are saying Laura instead of Lara. Toby Gard must be spitting bullets lol.
