Kealan Duffy BSc: hornets look cool
Kim Laughton BSc: a hornet could kill your children
Kealan Duffy BSc: it's like a gothic wasp
Kim Laughton BSc: I know a friend who saw one
Kim Laughton BSc: apparently they heard it coming and everyone jumped into the swimming pool
Kim Laughton BSc: and hid under water till it had passed
Kim Laughton BSc: that's how cool a hornet is
Kealan Duffy BSc: actions to avoid hornet attack:
Kealan Duffy BSc: Disturbing a nest (including vibrations and loud noises)
Being within a few meters or yards of a nest
Disturbing or killing a hornet within a few meters of a nest
Blocking the path of a hornet
Breathing on the nest or hornet
Rapid air movements
Never pour gasoline or petroleum down a nest hole. This is extremely hazardous and environmentally unsound.
Kim Laughton BSc: there was this video of some hornets going to a wasp hive I think
Kim Laughton BSc: or bee hive maybe
Kim Laughton BSc: but anyway
Kim Laughton BSc: they killed them all
Kim Laughton BSc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v23GFc0KG4c
Kim Laughton BSc: ok, that's the first thing that comes up on youtube for hornets
Kealan Duffy BSc: crumbs
Kealan Duffy BSc: they are rather large
Kim Laughton BSc: natural born killers
Kealan Duffy BSc: this video's great
Kim Laughton BSc: they are natural
Kim Laughton BSc: and they are killers
Kim Laughton BSc: and they kill
Kim Laughton BSc: bees
Kim Laughton BSc: but also humans
Kim Laughton BSc: it's implied
Kim Laughton BSc: they didn't kill the cameraman though
Kim Laughton BSc: maybe it was a camera inside a tank
Kim Laughton BSc: or a battleship
Kim Laughton BSc: or maybe just a satellite, so it was out of range
Kealan Duffy BSc: "The insects have been seen sipping from discarded soft-drink cans and carrying off lumps of fish and meat from bins and rubbish bags. Local authorities are receiving double the usual number of calls from people asking them to remove hornets’ nests. Between 20 and 40 Japanese die from hornet stings every year, more than the number killed by poisonous snakes."
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah, see, even the Japs die
Kim Laughton BSc: and they have robots
Kim Laughton BSc: robots are no protection from hornets
Kealan Duffy BSc: true
Kealan Duffy BSc: imagine seeing a hornet carrying a lump of fish
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah
Kim Laughton BSc: or maybe a chicken leg
Kealan Duffy BSc: or an eyeball
Kealan Duffy BSc: "Death by hornet sting is caused by anaphylactic shock, an allergic reaction leading to unconsciousness and breathing failure. “It is a pain that you can never imagine until you have experienced it,” Masato Ono, an entomologist at Tamagawa University, in Tokyo, said. He should know — he has been stung 200 times. “It is profoundly shocking, like a red-hot 15cm nail rammed into your body. I have neve
never grown accustomed to the pain.”
Kim Laughton BSc: I would give him some advice
Kim Laughton BSc: I would tell him to stay away from hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: he could work on a submarine
Kim Laughton BSc: well
Kim Laughton BSc: at least until they evolve
Kim Laughton BSc: which they probably would do when they have finished killing the overland humans
Kim Laughton BSc: but it would buy him some time
Kim Laughton BSc: ooh, hornet vs. mantis on youtube!
Kim Laughton BSc: the hornet had better win
Kealan Duffy BSc: im sure at one point
Kealan Duffy BSc: in a lab
Kealan Duffy BSc: they put hornets in
Kealan Duffy BSc: with a variety of smallish animals
Kealan Duffy BSc: and documented the effects
Kealan Duffy BSc: it would be necessary
Kealan Duffy BSc: for scientific research
Kim Laughton BSc: but if one hornet can kill a human
Kim Laughton BSc: why bother with many hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: this hornet just stole the mantis' supper
Kim Laughton BSc: to dramatic music
Kim Laughton BSc: ok, I think they just killed the mantis
Kim Laughton BSc: for good measure
Kim Laughton BSc: hmm, giant hornet vs. giant hornet
Kim Laughton BSc: the final show down
Kealan Duffy BSc: on Wikipedia is a picture of two fighting
Kealan Duffy BSc: with a caption saying
Kealan Duffy BSc: it lasted 15 minutes
Kealan Duffy BSc: neither was injured
Kim Laughton BSc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW4-N87MpMs&mode=related&search=
Kealan Duffy BSc: wow
Kealan Duffy BSc: its a proper brawl
Kim Laughton BSc: The Bee Matrix (Hornets Vs. Bees REMIX)
Kim Laughton BSc: before youtube I couldn't have seen a remix oh hornets vs. bees
Kealan Duffy BSc: yea
Kealan Duffy BSc: newer generations wont appreciate that fact
Kealan Duffy BSc: they will take such things for granted
Kealan Duffy BSc: and so do we most of the time
Kim Laughton BSc: exactly
Kim Laughton BSc: and they will have it in high def
Kim Laughton BSc: so they hornets are actually scary
Kim Laughton BSc: not just pixel blobs
Kim Laughton BSc: they could crawl right out of the screen
Kim Laughton BSc: in 3D
Kim Laughton BSc: and we will be all like 'oh, I don't know about this, what is this technology doing to our children, should they really be watching 3d hornets, maybe it's too real for them, we only had blurry 2d hornets that had to buffer all the time'
Kealan Duffy BSc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuMS3KDNysM&NR=1
Kealan Duffy BSc: not terribly exciting
Kealan Duffy BSc: but some crazy fear
Kealan Duffy BSc: there was also one of hornets eating a dead owl time lapsed, so it claimed
Kealan Duffy BSc: but it was pretty poor
Kim Laughton BSc: oh
Kealan Duffy BSc: and not what was promised really
Kealan Duffy BSc: just lots of shots of the dead owl fast to rock music
Kealan Duffy BSc: then some hornets making little difference to a random chunk of meat
Kim Laughton BSc: that's a pity
Kim Laughton BSc: people are exploiting the whole hornet thing
Kim Laughton BSc: and therefore exploiting hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: hornets that should rightfully be killing the exploiters
Kim Laughton BSc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tfaTpBiRXE&NR=1
Kim Laughton BSc: ah, a British take on the old hornets vs. bees
Kealan Duffy BSc: haha
Kealan Duffy BSc: overheating
Kim Laughton BSc: like your laptop
Kim Laughton BSc: but cooler
Kim Laughton BSc: or hotter
Kealan Duffy BSc: I cant see how they actually kill them
Kealan Duffy BSc: they just seem to grapple
Kim Laughton BSc: they bite their heads off probably
Kealan Duffy BSc: the British hornet
Kealan Duffy BSc: is rather meager
Kim Laughton BSc: you wouldn't scream if you saw it
Kealan Duffy BSc: those slow motion hornet shots
are awesome
Kim Laughton BSc: this is serious stuff
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah
Kim Laughton BSc: oh wow
Kim Laughton BSc: fried hornet
Kealan Duffy BSc: the bees bundling the hornet
Kealan Duffy BSc: that's awesome
Kealan Duffy BSc: and killing it with heat
Kim Laughton BSc: what would happen if ten thousand bees swarmed around your laptop?
Kim Laughton BSc: that would be just the same
Kealan Duffy BSc: I'd hate to be a beekeeper in Japan
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah
Kim Laughton BSc: but you would have Japanese bees
Kim Laughton BSc: that could kill hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: not British bees
Kim Laughton BSc: see, this is yet another example why Japan is better than the rest of the world
Kim Laughton BSc: they have hornets that are as big as shrews
Kim Laughton BSc: and then bees to kill the hornets
Kealan Duffy BSc: yea but I'd live in constant fear
Kim Laughton BSc: true
Kim Laughton BSc: http://www.edibleonlineshop.com/shop/browse.php?cmd
=showproduct&productId=13
Kim Laughton BSc: imagine being a hornet keeper
Kim Laughton BSc: and trying to get at their honey
Kealan Duffy BSc: £24!
Kealan Duffy BSc: this is a goldmine
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah, a goldmine...
Kim Laughton BSc: ...full of HORNETS!
Kealan Duffy BSc: I'd be a good bee/hornet keeper though
Kealan Duffy BSc: I wouldn't be stupid like the guy who got stung 200 times
Kealan Duffy BSc: I'd properly protect myself
Kealan Duffy BSc: and never get stung
Kim Laughton BSc: I don't think you could handle hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: they would eat you for supper
Kim Laughton BSc: like the mantis
Kim Laughton BSc: and its food
Kealan Duffy BSc: http://www.vespa-crabro.de/hornets.htm
Kealan Duffy BSc: some hippy website
Kealan Duffy BSc: claiming hornets are peaceful
Kealan Duffy BSc: and should be protected
Kim Laughton BSc: they are like those people in France
Kim Laughton BSc: who went along with the Nazis
Kim Laughton BSc: but the Nazis lost I guess
Kim Laughton BSc: then they had their heads shaved, according to my GCSE history books
Kim Laughton BSc: the hornets probably wouldn't lose
Kealan Duffy BSc: http://www.vespa-crabro.de/grbilder/nase1.htm
Kealan Duffy BSc: there's one of the hippies
Kim Laughton BSc: ha
Kim Laughton BSc: he only has German hornets on him
Kim Laughton BSc: he needs a Japanese hornet
Kim Laughton BSc: that would sort his smile out
Kim Laughton BSc: and kill him also
Kim Laughton BSc: he will go off to find them
Kim Laughton BSc: and then die
Kim Laughton BSc: and get short mention in a German paper
Kim Laughton BSc: like, at the back
Kim Laughton BSc: 'hornet lover goes to Japan to find Japanese hornets, gets killed by Japanese hornets'
Kealan Duffy BSc: that would be great
Kim Laughton BSc: it would show that picture in the paper
Kim Laughton BSc: but in black and white
Kim Laughton BSc: and no one would feel sorry for him
Kim Laughton BSc: maybe his mother, she would have warned him about hornets at a young age
Kim Laughton BSc: but even she would kind of feel 'I told you so son'
Kealan Duffy BSc: yea
Kealan Duffy BSc: there's no real use marketing hornets as peaceful
Kim Laughton BSc: "Unlike bees, the poison of wasps and hornets is not intended for use against vertebrates (like us) alone. Bees are nectar collecting animals, but wasps and hornets are hunters of insect prey. With several kilograms of honey in an average bees nest, the primary role of the bee sting is to defend the colony against sweet-toothed attackers, ranging from the mouse through badgers to brown bears and humans."
Kim Laughton BSc: a real a star argument there
Kim Laughton BSc: 'hornets are peaceful; their poison is designed to kill everything, not just us'
Kealan Duffy BSc: instead you should try and prove that hornet stings cause cancer
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah, or maybe make a phone strap
Kim Laughton BSc: that keeps hornets away
Kim Laughton BSc: (but it might cause cancer to the user)
Kim Laughton BSc: still, which would you prefer?
Kim Laughton BSc: a little tumor
Kim Laughton BSc: or like
Kim Laughton BSc: a million Japanese hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: crawling around your man bits
Kim Laughton BSc: "This explains the autonomous sting of the honey bee, a bee will lose its sting and its life stinging a vertebrate. What it gains is the injection of additional poison from the poison gland which continues to pump on its release. Wasps and hornets use their sting to kill troublesome insect prey. They cannot afford to be wasteful, as they need to be able to sting repeatedly, injecting just about 0.16 - 0.19 mg poison (oven-dry mass). We, hence, have more to fear in the sting of the bee than the hornet!"
Kim Laughton BSc: so
Kim Laughton BSc: right
Kim Laughton BSc: a bee stings you
Kim Laughton BSc: and dies
Kim Laughton BSc: no more bee
Kim Laughton BSc: but a hornet keeps going at you till you die, with its fuck everything poison
Kim Laughton BSc: the peaceful giant
Kealan Duffy BSc: yes
Kealan Duffy BSc: im convinced
Kim Laughton BSc: "However, the hornet sting contains 5% acetylcholine which stimulate pain fibres more than stings of other wasps and bees. So the sting of a hornet may be a little bit more painful."
Kealan Duffy BSc: the man advertising the peaceful hornet concept
Kealan Duffy BSc: is in for a life of failure
Kim Laughton BSc: you know
Kim Laughton BSc: if he was killed by japanese hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: i would be so happy
Kim Laughton BSc: it would be the happiest death in history
Kim Laughton BSc: probably for him also
Kim Laughton BSc: he would be finally one with his overlords
Kealan Duffy BSc: he wouldn't try and run away
Kealan Duffy BSc: it might get one of them hurt
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah, he would let them crawl over him while they checked him out
Kim Laughton BSc: then one would sting him, just for kicks
Kim Laughton BSc: maybe a couple more
Kim Laughton BSc: they would then fly off (in slow motion of course)
Kim Laughton BSc: he doesn't even seem to mention the Japanese hornet on his site
Kim Laughton BSc: it's like being nice to the friendly German soldier
Kim Laughton BSc: while ignoring the SS
Kim Laughton BSc: just out of sight
Kim Laughton BSc: both could kill you, but one could kill you a hell of a lot harder
Kealan Duffy BSc: I expect Nazis were involved somehow in this story actually
Kealan Duffy BSc: you don't just go around promoting the peaceful nature of hornets
Kealan Duffy BSc: some major event involving them..and probably Nazis
Kealan Duffy BSc: must have resulted in this
Kim Laughton BSc: I imagine the Nazis would have worshipped them
Kim Laughton BSc: seems like something they would do
Kim Laughton BSc: maybe they unleashed the Japanese hornet
Kim Laughton BSc: like....it was buried for eons
Kim Laughton BSc: and then, like in Indiana Jones
Kim Laughton BSc: hmm
Kim Laughton BSc: actually
Kim Laughton BSc: shit
Kim Laughton BSc: Indiana Jones was about hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: but they just had to find a way to show them
Kim Laughton BSc: without having hornets fly out of the box
Kealan Duffy BSc: I think George Lucas or Spielberg should be asked this question
Kealan Duffy BSc: at some sort of fan event
Kim Laughton BSc: yes
Kim Laughton BSc: that would be good
Kim Laughton BSc: I would like to go to such an even to do that
Kim Laughton BSc: but I don't think Lucas leaves his home any more
Kim Laughton BSc: he just makes statues out of gold and diamonds
Kim Laughton BSc: and talks to them
Kim Laughton BSc: and then he listens to their advice and makes some more star wars stuff
Kim Laughton BSc: maybe he went mad because of the hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: they are in his mind
Kim Laughton BSc: there is enough material for a PhD just in this conversation
Kealan Duffy BSc: it would be a good PhD, we have considered both sides of the argument
Kim Laughton BSc: the nutty German
Kim Laughton BSc: who is dead now
Kim Laughton BSc: because of hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: and we can get some global warming in maybe
Kim Laughton BSc: about how it angers the hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: and makes them want to kill more
Kim Laughton BSc: it would be stupid of course, because all they want to do ever is kill
Kim Laughton BSc: ...but a new angle
Kealan Duffy BSc: plus people are more likely to invest with the global warming angle
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah, exactly
Kim Laughton BSc: they don't just want to be frightened of hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: they want to know that mankind is responsible
Kealan Duffy BSc: you don't know how accurate you are
Kealan Duffy BSc: "The Telegraph reports that global warming has allowed a vicious giant asian hornet called Vespa velutina to spread rapidly in France. The hornets are a huge threat to honey bees."
Kim Laughton BSc: oh fuck
Kim Laughton BSc: they beat us to it
Kealan Duffy BSc: its only an article
Kealan Duffy BSc: it lacks the meat
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah, but still
Kim Laughton BSc: it would be nice to have come up with it first
Kim Laughton BSc: we will need to stress the Nazi angle
Kim Laughton BSc: "Global warming is already making many changes to ecosystems and the economy in Europe. The hornets are expected to eventually make it to Britain."
Kealan Duffy BSc: oh dear god
Kealan Duffy BSc: this just won't do
Kim Laughton BSc: we are so fucked
Kim Laughton BSc: I'm going to change my light bulb
Kim Laughton BSc: for one of those energy efficient ones
Kim Laughton BSc: do my bit to keep the hornets in France
Kim Laughton BSc: Nazis started it
Kim Laughton BSc: but, with my special light bulb
Kim Laughton BSc: I will live on
Kim Laughton BSc: but only in really nasty greenish environmentally friendly light
Kim Laughton BSc: that takes 30 seconds to warm up
Kim Laughton BSc: still, better that than Japanese hornets
Kealan Duffy BSc: yep
Kim Laughton BSc: you don't seem very convinced
Kealan Duffy BSc: its true
Kealan Duffy BSc: I'd probably rather have lots of easy light for years
Kealan Duffy BSc: and then just get killed by a swarm of hornets
Kealan Duffy BSc: than deal with an annoying energy efficient light
Kim Laughton BSc: actually
Kim Laughton BSc: so would I
Kim Laughton BSc: I mean, the hornets would be terrible
Kim Laughton BSc: but they would be sometime in the future
Kim Laughton BSc: and I would have nice light now
Kim Laughton BSc: which is really what I want
Kim Laughton BSc: maybe I will blog this whole conversation
Kim Laughton BSc: as a PhD work in progress
Kim Laughton BSc: and be like, one of those twats who blogs messenger conversations
Kealan Duffy BSc: true
Kealan Duffy BSc: there seem to be a lot of connections between Nazi and hornet
Kim Laughton BSc: yes
Kim Laughton BSc: and global warming
Kealan Duffy BSc: this is the three pronged argument
Kim Laughton BSc: you need that I think
Kim Laughton BSc: to be sophisticated
Kim Laughton BSc: and contemporary
Kim Laughton BSc: people don't care enough about Nazis alone these days
Kim Laughton BSc: maybe 'Nazi' is Latin for hornet?
Kim Laughton BSc: I think it could be
Kealan Duffy BSc: the hornet was a Nazi weapon, that's not very useful, but it does show the Nazis were thinking about hornets at one point
Kim Laughton BSc: it was always in the back of their mind
Kim Laughton BSc: but they were to frightened to really confront them
Kim Laughton BSc: I did a Google image search for 'Nazi' and 'hornet'
Kim Laughton BSc: and on the second page!
Kim Laughton BSc: a swastika comes up
Kim Laughton BSc: this is a strong link
Kealan Duffy BSc: undeniably
Kim Laughton BSc: also on the third
Kim Laughton BSc: but smaller
Kim Laughton BSc: still, it's back up evidence
Kealan Duffy BSc: the front cover of this...project will be awesome
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah
Kealan Duffy BSc: it will involve a hornet, a swastika
Kealan Duffy BSc: and some sort of global warming image
Kim Laughton BSc: I guess the world in the background
Kealan Duffy BSc: with a swastika
Kealan Duffy BSc: and a hornet in the middle
Kim Laughton BSc: you need all the continents in red
Kim Laughton BSc: to symbolize the warming
Kim Laughton BSc: then the big old swastika
Kim Laughton BSc: and in front of it all, a hornet
Kim Laughton BSc: probably holding a lightning bolt
Kealan Duffy BSc: awesome
Kealan Duffy BSc: who wouldn't be intrigued by such an image
Kim Laughton BSc: George Bush
Kim Laughton BSc: that's who
Kealan Duffy BSc: well he'd have to get involved eventually; this is likely to cause great political repercussions
Kim Laughton BSc: yeah, true
Kim Laughton BSc: it's always hard to find high res images of things on google
Kim Laughton BSc: when you want to make covers for Nazi warming hornet PhDs
Kealan Duffy BSc: yea
Kealan Duffy BSc: but it will be worth the search
Kim Laughton BSc: http://www.bgcs.k12.in.us/bghs/library/hornet_logo2.gif
Kim Laughton BSc: oooh
Kealan Duffy BSc: nice
Kealan Duffy BSc: it looks angry too
Kim Laughton BSc: yes
Kim Laughton BSc: angry at the world
Kim Laughton BSc: and the Nazis
Kim Laughton BSc: and Lucas
Kim Laughton BSc: you should be helping find the world, instead of like, preparing to sleep
Kim Laughton BSc: a high res version of the world
Kealan Duffy BSc: I was looking for hornets
Kealan Duffy BSc: but I can do that
Kealan Duffy BSc: what sort of world
Kim Laughton BSc: it needs to just be a map I guess
Kim Laughton BSc: but you know...rounded
Kealan Duffy BSc: so you want a sphere picture
Kealan Duffy BSc: rather than an atlas map
Kim Laughton BSc: I think so
Kim Laughton BSc: it could just be like....a picture of the world I guess?
Kim Laughton BSc: with America in front
Kim Laughton BSc: because America will bare the brunt of the hornets
Kealan Duffy BSc: http://www.maps-continents.com/maps/north-america.jpg
Kealan Duffy BSc: may be a bit...crappy
Kim Laughton BSc: hmm, this planet may be ok
Kim Laughton BSc: it's coming along nicely
Kim Laughton BSc: can you find a lightning bolt maybe?
Kim Laughton BSc: like the Germans might have used
Kealan Duffy BSc: http://www.iagr.org/images/lightning_bolt.jpg
Kealan Duffy BSc: like that?
Kim Laughton BSc: perfect!
Kim Laughton BSc: now a swastika
Kealan Duffy BSc: that should be simple enough
Kim Laughton BSc: yes
Kealan Duffy BSc: http://www.mysteriousworld.com/Content/Images/Journal/2003
/Winter/GrandCanyon/babylon_swastika-p.png
Kealan Duffy BSc: that's quite large
Kealan Duffy BSc: but not as chunky as some
Kealan Duffy BSc: though that's easily fixed
Kim Laughton BSc: I think it will be ok
Kim Laughton BSc: wait
Kim Laughton BSc: it's the wrong way isn't it?
Kim Laughton BSc: I'll have to flip it
Kim Laughton BSc: that would have been embarrassing
Kealan Duffy BSc: I dunno I tried to load it again and it crashed IE
Kim Laughton BSc: ...ah
Kealan Duffy BSc: that's Nazi hate for you
Kealan Duffy BSc: yea it is the wrong way
Kim Laughton BSc: would it be wrong to have a yellow swastika?
Kealan Duffy BSc: dunno, does it lose its impact in yellow?
Kealan Duffy BSc: I guess that's the only issue
Kealan Duffy BSc: a swastika must have impact
Kealan Duffy BSc: and also be recognizable
Kealan Duffy BSc: as a German swastika
Kim Laughton BSc: I think it will be in keeping
Kim Laughton BSc: oh
Kim Laughton BSc: shit
Kim Laughton BSc: Photoshop is like
Kim Laughton BSc: crashing
Kim Laughton BSc: just as I'm saving
Kealan Duffy BSc: noooooo
Kim Laughton BSc: oh fuck yes
Kim Laughton BSc: it came back
Kim Laughton BSc: after like
Kim Laughton BSc: 30 seconds of not responding
Kealan Duffy BSc: good
Kim Laughton BSc: very
Kealan Duffy BSc: god's throwing every hurdle he can at the creation of this picture
Kim Laughton BSc: and hornets
Kealan Duffy BSc: it's bound to stir things up
Kim Laughton BSc: I couldn't really fit it all together one on top of the other as I planned
Kim Laughton BSc: but I think it gets across the main points well enough
Kealan Duffy BSc: yea
Kim Laughton BSc: I'll make the lightning a little bigger
Kim Laughton BSc: so it juts off the corner
Kealan Duffy BSc: the hornet is clearly the main concern
Kealan Duffy BSc: and he's clearly dominating the earth
Kealan Duffy BSc: but what is that swastika?
Kealan Duffy BSc: what could it mean?
Kealan Duffy BSc: Nazi involvement, backdoor shenanigans
Kealan Duffy BSc: it makes the swastika look suspicious
Kealan Duffy BSc: which is good
Kim Laughton BSc: it will need a title
Kim Laughton BSc: to go under it all
Kim Laughton BSc: in big nice type
Kim Laughton BSc: and the title should have a smaller subtitle under it
Kealan Duffy BSc: From Hitler to Hornets: a new perspective on global warming
Kim Laughton BSc: fuck man, this shit is about hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: that seems like hornets and Hitler are just bits of the global warming thing
Kealan Duffy BSc: yea
Kealan Duffy BSc: I'd like to get the word Nazi in somewhere
Kealan Duffy BSc: it spruces up all things
Kealan Duffy BSc: Nazi hornets from hell: the planetary sting
Kealan Duffy BSc: something more like that
Kealan Duffy BSc: but not that perhaps
Kim Laughton BSc: I like the planetary sting
Kim Laughton BSc: but not so much the hell
Kim Laughton BSc: and they aren't Nazi hornets remember
Kealan Duffy BSc: I know
Kealan Duffy BSc: but it sounded better for that title
Kim Laughton BSc: you have to put all parts of brain into this
Kim Laughton BSc: while I see if illustrator can trace the hornet
Kim Laughton BSc: to make it look nicer
Kealan Duffy BSc: it's too late for any decent brain work
Kealan Duffy BSc: I can but try and combine the main words in different ways
Kim Laughton BSc: shush
Kim Laughton BSc: we have come so far
Kim Laughton BSc: …just that little extra push
Kim Laughton BSc: Hitler didn't say it was too late for world war four
Kealan Duffy BSc: true
Kim Laughton BSc: hmm, it looks a little better traced
Kim Laughton BSc: my computer is thrashing around
Kim Laughton BSc: maybe because of hornets
Kim Laughton BSc: or maybe because I exported the image too high a resolution
Kim Laughton BSc: Hornets, Nazis and Global Warming: The Truth
Kealan Duffy BSc: Planetary Sting: How killer hornets and Nazi lust burnt the earth
Kim Laughton BSc: it's the global warming that causes the hornets to rise again
Kim Laughton BSc: after the Nazis first awoke them
Kim Laughton BSc: one has to keep that in mind
Kealan Duffy BSc: perhaps 'rise of the hornets' should go in somewhere then
Kim Laughton BSc: yes, that could work
Kim Laughton BSc: it doesn't want to sound like a film title also
Kim Laughton BSc: needs to be academic
Kealan Duffy BSc: true
Kim Laughton BSc: admittedly that's tricky
Kim Laughton BSc: when you have to include Nazi and hornet
Kealan Duffy BSc: these are bold words
Kim Laughton BSc: yes, they will be in bold
Kealan Duffy BSc: I was easily sucked into B movie style titles
Kim Laughton BSc: just think how nice your name will look under it
Kim Laughton BSc: maybe just 'HORNETS'
Kim Laughton BSc: in big bold
Kim Laughton BSc: then the subtitle
Kim Laughton BSc: that could be nice
Kealan Duffy BSc: yea, it's difficult otherwise to put the hornet in the front line
Kealan Duffy BSc: Hornet Invasion: How global warming will give (or just gave) the Nazis their revenge
Kealan Duffy BSc: The Hornets Sting: How Nazi Hate and global warming doomed the west
Kealan Duffy BSc: maybe a bit long both times
Kim Laughton BSc: HORNETS: Discovered by Nazis, Propagated by Global Warming
Kealan Duffy BSc: I prefer your angle, it sounds more scientific
Kim Laughton BSc: I don't like discovered
Kim Laughton BSc: unleashed?
Kealan Duffy BSc: that works
Kealan Duffy BSc: or awoken
Kealan Duffy BSc: unleashed is probably better
Kim Laughton BSc: ok, then something like
Kim Laughton BSc: a study by
Kim Laughton BSc: and our names
Kim Laughton BSc: with the right letters
Kim Laughton BSc: how should the letters be done?
Kim Laughton BSc: or not a study
Kim Laughton BSc: because there wasn't a great deal of that
Kim Laughton BSc: more a theory
Kim Laughton BSc: so like Kealan Duffy BSc
Kim Laughton BSc: forget the PhD
Kim Laughton BSc: this is bigger than a PhD now
Kim Laughton BSc: it's more of a book I think
Kim Laughton BSc: but an academic book
Kim Laughton BSc: that probably not many people would buy
Kim Laughton BSc: (although they should)
Kealan Duffy BSc: it appeals to war enthusiasts
Kealan Duffy BSc: global warming enthusiasts
Kim Laughton BSc: true
Kealan Duffy BSc: and hornet enthusiasts
Kim Laughton BSc: the bases are covered
Kealan Duffy BSc: printing some of the research quotes on the back
Kealan Duffy BSc: would make it a sure seller
Kim Laughton BSc: and some review quotes
Kealan Duffy BSc: yes, they'd be more suitable than research quotes, things like "red-hot 15cm nail rammed into your body" just ooze appeal
Kealan Duffy BSc: but again I'm getting away from academics
Kealan Duffy BSc: "hornets are peaceful, their poison is designed to kill everything, not just us" that would have to get some major coverage
Kim Laughton BSc: so what instead of 'a study'?
Kim Laughton BSc: proposal?
Kim Laughton BSc: thesis?
Kealan Duffy BSc: all good words, theoretical, dissertation
Kealan Duffy BSc: not proposal
Kealan Duffy BSc: essay
Kealan Duffy BSc: investigative study
Kim Laughton BSc: hmm
Kim Laughton BSc: investigative thesis?
Kim Laughton BSc: I dunno if that even works...like...as English
Kealan Duffy BSc: nor do I
Kim Laughton BSc: thesis sounds very academic
Kim Laughton BSc: although maybe we want something a little more solid
Kim Laughton BSc: like, this isn't just an idea
Kim Laughton BSc: it's the truth
Kealan Duffy BSc: academic discussion? I don't think that combination of words has even been used before
Kealan Duffy BSc: well it probably has
Kim Laughton BSc: that's good
Kim Laughton BSc: something discussion
Kim Laughton BSc: not academic
Kim Laughton BSc: scholarly
Kealan Duffy BSc: scholarly sounds good
Kim Laughton BSc: HORNETS
Unleashed by Nazis, Propagated by Global Warming
A scholarly discussion by
Kealan Duffy BSc
Kim Laughton BSc
