After months of grueling tests, a species of horned dung beetle takes the title for world's strongest insect. The beetle, called Onthophagus taurus, was found to be able to pull a whopping 1,141 times its own body weight, which is the equivalent of a 150-pound (70 kilogram) person lifting six full double-decker buses. While the study researcher knows of a mite that can take on a hair more, that organism is an arachnid, not an insect. The finding, published in the current issue of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, does more than elevate the beetle's status, as...

Yesterday, at the gym, I had an interesting talk with a senior executive of a Fortune 500 manufacturing company that is #1 in its industry. He said that in a few years we will look back and wonder why we allowed global trade to make China, a country that wants to destroy our way of life, the strongest nation on earth. The man was sincere when he said that the quest for cheap labor will destroy our nation. He was not favorably impressed with our political or business leaders. A few moments of candor on his part were revealing.
