 DRILLING AND MANLINESS ACK! DRILLING AND MANLINESS

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Could someone post the results (with spoiler tag) of the spider rounds?? There is no way in hell I could ever watch one of those, yet I'm curious who wins.

All the fun of watching two creatures try to kill each other, none of the guilt or nausea that would be induced if they were creatures anyone gave a shit about or empathized with. I approve. I think I watched like 10 fights in a row.

Somehow it is kind of disturbing, but only after watching the first 10.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

My favorites are the beetles with the big crushing pincers or mandibles or whatever they are. Rarely does anything get through their shell, and anything they get a grip on is toast.

Why bother putting those hornets in there? They keep getting destroyed.

Also, the fight intros = epic.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Spider was winning, but then the Ref looked away for a second and these two earwigs ran in and started beating the shit out of it with a folding chair.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it got hold of it by the torso just behind the head and squeezed until it died. Also, the hornet does kill a thing or two. There's one where it kills a praying mantis about 10 times it's own size.

When I first got to Japan, they assigned two Japanese university students to every forign student to be our Nihongo partners for our stay (help show us around, get paper work done, teach us Japanese, have sex with, etc).  On the first day I asked them:

"So, I'm on a whole different continent now, and I have no idea what sort of bugs or snakes are poisonous.  Is there anything I should watch out for?"

Long pause as they both think about it.

"Don't get stung by bee."

"By a Bee?"

"Yes. Bee."

"Why?"

"You'll die."

It was later when I actually saw one of those fuckers buzz by me and read up on them that I realized they hadn't quite picked the right word for translation.   awesome, for real

Some interesting wiki facts just gleaned....

20-40 people die in Japan from them each year.
a single hornet can kill as many as 40 honey bees per minute thanks to their large mandibles
Adult hornets cannot digest solid protein, so the hornets do not eat their prey, but chew them into a paste and feed them to their larvae. The larvae produce a clear liquid, vespa amino acid mixture, which the adults consume

Asian honey bees can defeat loan scouts by cooking them to death in a giant bee ball surrounding the scout and vibrating to produce enough heat to kill them.

Enyclopedia Dramatica actually has a pretty decent write-up on the whole thing. Be warned that it's full of spoilers. I shouldn't have to say this, but also assume it's NSFW.

Kwansei Gakuin.  "Mastery For Service"  awesome, for real

And I'm not really joking.  I mean, that's not part of the roll the university set out for them.  But it went like this:  We had about 80 exchange students in the program.  Each had 2 volunteer Nihongo partners assigned to them.  So we had a total of about 160 Nihongo partners (all volunteers).  Only 7 of them were men.

There were motives involved other than wanting to teach foreigners Japanese.   DRILLING AND MANLINESS

Sometimes I feel like the cage is a bit too small and so kind of unfair to some of the bugs that need some space for leverage--but I assume that in a lot of cases if it were bigger that they'd just go to the other side and not bother each other.

When I was a kid, I sometimes used to dig up ant nests and put the whole thing in a spare aquarium we had (kept outside). If I did it carefully, I'd sometimes get the queen and and the nest would still be functioning--they'd dig themselves out after a few days and get back to normal, except now I could see a lot of their tunnelling. I put some branches from the dirt inside to the rim and then a few from the rim down to the ground to help them get in and out. Once I sat down to look at them and somehow an earwig had gotten in there. While I was watching the ants happened to notice it. Was pretty amazing: they boiled over it in a few minutes and pulled it apart.
