Funny thing. We were having a lecture on stings and bites
thursday... and really, bees aren't very common where I
live... anyway, you're supposed to try to remove the
bee's stinger without "milking" it... and I keep imagining
someone actually being very grooish and squeezing the 
sac thing while trying to pull it out...
Oh and I did have a sort of encounter with one lone bee
two weeks ago on the class field trip... I saw it and 
ran...

Somehow, let's just all agree to disagree regarding the
whole pirating thing...
