The barbs on their legs are actually quite sharp. Not enough to hurt a person, but if you pick one up it's awkward to actually get it off you because the barbs stick into your skin quite readily.Enzedder wrote: Tue May 23, 2023 1:28 am OK - it's called a cockchafer. I would envisage a viscious thing with stingers and teeth to be called that.
Definitely not fearsome at all, though. Aside from being kinda cute they're also very clutzy.
Just the annual dickwaving exercise from the plebs. They are a lost cause, led by a political class of fuckwits.EnergiseR2 wrote: Mon Jul 03, 2023 12:35 pm Jim was up in Belfast yesterday and couldn't believe the number of huge UVF flags flying. I was driving up around Stormont. Sort it out man

Testing for impacts from micro-meteorites.
A small aluminium sphere with a diameter of 12 millimetres and weighing only 1.7 grams impacts an 18-centimetre thick aluminium block. The sphere was shot at a speed of 24,500 km/h

This would equate to a 2300 meter diameter meteorite, given that the earth's crust is about 35km in thickness... an epic hole.fishfoodie wrote: Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:28 pm

We had a major typhoon hit us last week, with some serious flooding and several roads collapsed and needing major repair. Then the evening of the day after the typhoon finally passed, this was nature's gift to us. You could hear thunder in the dark clouds in the foreground but the rest was a stunning display of nature's beauty.
