I hate it when people photocopy for Bad.

“Insects are incredible nanotechnologists,”

Somewhere there is a super-secrete facilty containing Einsteinian hexi-peds with little lab coats and pocket protectors. We humanoids just had to schlep our way here from lucky apes.

LOL!

“Insects are incredible nanotechnologists,” reported Science Daily.

Um...no they're not. Their Creator is!

However, a little hair spray will gum them up.

A few years ago a big wasp got into the house, and I don't like wasps. So, I got out the petroleum based wasp spray and drenched him....right on my wifes drapes. Well, probably getting stung by the wasp would have been easier.

Anyway, she showed me a trick I had never seen...just get her hair spray (hers is called "freezing spray") and spray the little bugger...it gums up his wings and he can't fly...and you'll usually find him dead on the floor the next morning. It really works...and doesn't hurt the drapes or blinds like the petroleum stuff does.

Actually, all living things are incredible “nanotechnologists”, as described by the author. I think what he really means though is that they are incredible nano-technology machines.

All living things consume food of some sort and break it down at the molecular level to convert it to things like Muscle, organs, etc. We all convert matter at the “nano” level.

With the exception of Mercury and other things, you are NOT what you eat. Your body turns it into something else. Sugar becomes fat, etc. And that is actually quite amazing.

WOW

God was right...

His creation is GOOD...

I’m going to implement your solution this very evening. I have a wasp nest just above by garage door. I want to see how fast it works. Wish me luck!

[GodGunsGuts]

Imagine that!

I really miss the old office Christmas parties.

Now, I haven't tried it on an whole nest...could be that a few of them might escape the spray. I'd still use the petroleum stuff on a whole nest. Hair spray doesn't come out of the can quite as fast and forceful as wasp spray does.

But it works great on single wasps...take away their ability to fly, and they're not so scary. I just pick them up with needle nose pliers, and flush them down the john.

Use of the word "design"....check.

Their wings are self-cleaning, frictionless and super-water-repellant.

PLEASE show me a zero-friction wing...LOVE to see it.

Retraction #1 already, they went from "frictionless" to "almost frictionless".

Again, use of the word "design"...check.

OYG....something in nature is extremely efficient!! That must mean Man walked the Earth with 100+ species of large meat eating dinosaurs!!!

??????????????? Quite a leap, don’t you think.

Sometimes your replies just baffle all with the depth of your intellect ..... not!

Luke 12:27 (New International Version)

27”Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

Interesting post.

Don’t sit on the glass! The secretaries in our office called everyone down to see what had happened one weekend. The photocopier had numerous copies of a woman’s butt with male hands under it and the glass on top was broken. No one fessed up, but the woman was thin, which ruled out several members of the office.

[RoadGumby]

ES, you really are amusing. Feel free to post opposing articles touting evolution and then stand by them and answer criticism. It is much easier to heckle than defend.

I see a pattern where your biggest concern seemd to be dinosaurs. Fear not!! They are indeed gone.

I also notice you do not make public your own ‘faith’ or lack there of. Just observations here.

[Wacka]

Why should anyone have make public their faith to post anything on this site. This is not a religious site.
