Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly

Posted by Zonk on from the hoverbots-to-follow dept.

corbettw writes "Researchers at CalTech have discovered how bees fly, putting one more nail in the coffin of Intelligent Design. From the article: 'People in the ID community have said that we don't even know how bees fly ... We were finally able to put this one to rest. We do have the tools to understand bee flight and we can use science to understand the world around us.'"

    Fine, you win on this one, science.

    But I'd like to see them figure out how the Flying Spaghetti Monster flies.

    Not unless you consider that I saw a 747 doing the breast stroke on my way home from work today...

    Has anyone heard woe is me bones? It's wonderful story about bees by a children story teller with an Irish name.

    The summary-- ridiculous: we have Karma Whoring, but it seems that Comment Whoring is the newest thing. Don't think your post will glean you enough sweet sweet commentary from the peanut gallery? Tie it into the ID debate. Seriously, if you want to make money on Slashdot, just make a banner that says "Intelligent Design Rules" and watch the traffic pour in.
