I was having coffee last night in Barnes & Noble…when some nut rushed in with a jar FULL of ladybugs. He opened it and waved his arms like he was on fire...shaking the jar all over, spraying bugs all over the place…He screamed “Free Tibet” and ran out. I had hundreds of them all over my table. Never heard of that technique before, and his “message” was lost on me…and the others around me. Any idea on what this guy was smoking? Did I miss something topical? WTF? |

Wow, what a coincidence. I captured a bunch of lightning bugs in a jar and met a buddy outside a bookstore with two names to show him. He had never seen lightning bugs before. Before I could start telling him about lightning bugs, my buddy grabs the jar, runs into the cafe, unscrews and flips off the lid and starts shaking the jar, yelling "Fly free my children. Go forth and Free Tibet!" There was this one dude in there who looked like he knew less about bugs than my buddy did. He went catatonic and started moaning about the ladybugs everywhere. Wierd, that.

It would have been really funny if it had been those carnivorous ladybugs. You people may think I'm joking, but I have been places in this country where you say, "Oh, look at the cute ladybug! OW THE FUCKER BIT ME!" They usually take out a chunk of meat when they bite, too. It was one of the crazier natural occurences I've experienced. |
ladybugs ARE carnivorous. |
Go figure, what goes around comes around 
|
Indeed, people love them because they eat nasty plant ruining bugs. But I haven't seen any that feed on human flesh. |
ZOMBIE ladybugs do |
Ah shit that means I need to add a patch to the server... off to add ladybugs to the zombie game What next zombie dogs... |
Those are Asian Beetles that were imported to help crops I guess OUR Ladybugs weren't doing a good enough job  GM |
Damn, That's weird. |
