- Way to infect your office! - Spawn Aug 21, 13:15
- Summer colds suck - amoxy Aug 21, 13:13 2
  - Winter and Spring and Fall colds arnt any picnic either. -- nm - eag Aug 21, 13:22
  - summer colds are almost always allergies and ragweed would be pumping out a lot around here starting now. -- nm - zork Aug 21, 13:14

  - I was under the impression that the insectoid ones do, yes -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 12:52 7
    - wasps and bees can either bite (nonvenomous) or sting (venomous), IIRC from entomology class. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 12:53 6
      - Hmm. Have never known anyone to get bit by one. Fascinating. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 12:54 5
        
        I was bitten by a bee (drone) in entomology class when the prof got me to hold it in my fingers. it wasn't bad. - loosilu Aug 21, 12:56 4
        
        google says the queen and the drones can't sting. that makes sense - it explains why the professor made me hold it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 12:58 2
        
        Huh. I knew about the queen not being able to but had never heard about the drones. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 13:02 1
        
        the stinger is a modified ovipositor. The queen's only job is to lay eggs. the workers can't. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 13:02

- brilliant logic, there... -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 12:46
- That sounds a lot like Doofenschmirtz reasoning -- nm - oblique Aug 21, 12:45 1
  - Ahhhh, kilbo. Your timing is impeccable. - Spawn Aug 21, 12:47

- Oh sure, I like the original and get ignored. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 12:46 2
  - It's like posting while the Olympics are on. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 12:51
  - How do you think I answered Roger More's question? -- nm - landbeck Aug 21, 12:48

Kirk Cameron weighs in on the Akin controversy - amoxy Aug 21, 12:16 19
- It surprises me that Kirk Cameron is still relevant, all these years later. -- nm - kelly Aug 21, 12:34 12
  - I guess it depends on your definition, but... he's not. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 12:37 11
    - If he wasn't relevant would he be brought up again and again on these boards? -- nm - spamlet Aug 21, 13:10 3
      - are you new here? why would that stop us? -- nm - zork Aug 21, 13:13
      - But there's "punching bag" relevant and "adding intellectual and/or emotional depth" relevant. -- nm - landbeck Aug 21, 13:11 1
        
        He's punching bag relevant for some on the boards, but to argue he's not relevant when he's held up as an example time and time again is silly. -- nm - spamlet Aug 21, 13:12
    - he is to some people. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 13:01 1
      - Well, after writing the Left Behind series... -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 13:02
    - Well, he's making it on to national talk shows spouting his opinions, and people listen, so...I think there is something there, yes. -- nm - kelly Aug 21, 12:44 1
      - I think he's mostly on the Christian talk circuit with occasional forays into the mainstream ones. -- nm - zork Aug 21, 13:03
    - I keep thinking that maybe he's just a clever provocateur. But I think he's just earnest and myopic. -- nm - landbeck Aug 21, 12:39 1
      - I agree. -- nm - pmb Aug 21, 12:44
