“When researchers strapped visors to their heads to block out the sky entirely, they were completely disoriented.”

Ya think strapping a visor on an insect is NOT going to disorient it?

Probably not only disoriented it, but also disconnected its head from the body...

“What project is your son the scientist working on these days?”

“Beetles pushing around balls of crap at night.”

“Ahhhhh.....a political scientist.”

Rumor has it that a certain Kenyan dung beetle was able to navigate his way from Africa to North America.........Just a rumor however :)

I really thought I had it made. You see, I’ve developed the world’s smallest set of night vision goggles. They fit perfect on the beetles. The beetles were ecstatic, but they said they could only pay me in dung. I told them if I wanted to work for crap for pay, I’d have taken that insurance job.

I've never noticed the Milky Way in the sky. Is it only visible in the southern hemisphere?
