the commy killers of the world becon, but which one would you prefer to draw your existence to an end? I recon that having loads of bee toxin coursing through your veins must be a hell of a rush.

more of a rush than being torn apart underwater by a million pirana teeth. probably. i mean, which has more nobility, death by fish or death by bugs?

Or piranas that shoot bees from their mouths!

Killer Bees will always have a speial place in my heart after they killed Macauley Culkin.

What about in Piranha 2, as written by John Sayles, when the piranhas learn to fly?

Eaten by squirrels

In terms of death with honor and glory, it'd be piranas. Especially if you're slowly dipped into the water with your chest out and your head up.

... while being attacked by a huge cloud of killer bees...

killer bees because you could be a zen master and calm them. i'd rather sit under a tree.

― youn (youn), Friday, 2 June 2006 22:36 (nineteen years ago)

Trees have been know to fall on people.

I cast my vote for bees; I'd rather be stung to death than eaten alive. (But hey, if being crushed under a tree is a new featured option, then maybe I'd take that over either one.)

Being hit by a car in Jacob's Ladder was more satisfying for me.

And directed by James Cameron.

I jokingly posted about these a few weeks ago in a coronavirus thread, but they sound really gruesome. If I were in southern B.C. right now, I'd probably move.

at first i thought these were the same as vespa velutina, which has been in europe for awhile and are plenty bad enough:

The entomologist says that Canadians can help track the spread of the Asian giant hornet by following the "slap, snap, zap and wrap" method.

If you can do so safely, Berube encourages Canadians who think they've encountered the insect to kill it by slapping it with a stick, snap a photo and "zap" it in an email to the Invasive Species Council of B.C., then wrap it in plastic and freeze it "in case a sample is needed."

I'll make sure to start carrying a camera and plastic at all times, just hoping I run into one of them.

Don't set traps for them, you'll end up killing the wrong bees.

I won't, promise.

three weeks pass...

More sightings, and it looks like we do have the not-as-scary European hornet in Ontario:
