Oaks have male and female plants that use airborn pollenation techniques, but they will self pollenate or clone themselves if needed. I would look at chemicals or precipitation before looking at bees.

I have heard reports in the past of hungry packs of squirrels attacking and eating cats and small dogs. I wonder if those reports will increase this winter.
I see a lot of replies to this AC post crying "Foul, he mentioned religion"
Take a look around you at the rest of the world outside your basement. The majority of the world is religious and follows those "bronze age mythologies" as truth, regardless of what we think of them.
If they are going to use their religion against us, and try to cram it down our throats, the smartest move would be to learn to use it back, both to defend, and protect our beliefs and rights.
I feel it is a right for me to eat meat. No one should have the ability to remove that right from me. If I have to use their own holy books against them, so be it. Get past your own idiology and mental restrictions to look at the place everything has in this world, and listen fairly and with an open mind or you will NEVER rise above their level.

Where I live(NOVA), they already have.

I bet with 400B NASA could come up with an electric car. I doubt Detroit could.
I bet with 400B, NASA could properly develop the Nuclear Light bulb engine, solving many of our launch issues in the process. Wouldn't it be nice to get 20000 tons into space at a time?
Sure seems that women are interested in Engineering, but something specific about CS is either not enticing or is repelling
GEEK SQUAD
Those inept bumbling dangerous fools make the rest of us in the IT field look bad.
When people hear I am a Sys Admin, I often hear "Oh like the geek squad" or "Oh, so you are who I would go see for computer trouble". I used to get offended, but now my standard response (said with a smile) is, "Yes, and I charge an upfront consultation fee of $100, this gets you 30 minutes of my time, I then revert to $100 an hour billed in 1 hour increments. What were you having trouble with?" For most issues, I tell them it is cheaper for them to go see the dorks at best buy. I know it comes across as a little condecending, but I find I have much more spare time when I am not giving out advice or servicing customers pro-bono. In the last few months, I have had several people take me up on my offer and have made over a grand fixing messes the FireDorks(Circuit City) or Geek Squad left behind.
I think you math might need checking... According to google 1mph is 2688 furlongs per fortnight. So a furlong per fortnight is pretty damn slow. and Of course it's slow. A fortnight is 14 days, and a furlong is 1/8th of a mile. Going some 200 meters in 14 days is slow.
so if a furlong is 1/8 mile we can divide the # of furlongs by 8 to get the miles, right?
so that is 2688/8 or 336 miles per fortnight or 24 miles a day.
Sure seems a hell of a lot faster than 14.286 Meters per day.

RTFA, Oaks use wind pollination, not insects.
Young Padewan, you have much to learn about the use of the Force.

Too bad we are talking about Australia, who is not governed by the US Constitution.

ZOMG, Mom, is that you?

forgive my ignorance, but if you are in a closed loop, would you not end up at the same point if you followed left vs right?

Great placement of this comment, considering the FP.
I am the source.
Well then put that dark thing away, it's bending my reality!!
Hey creepy, you know there is a song named after you by Zombie Girl?
Its kinda catchy.
I am sure it would come with a power switch of some sort....
Are laser pointers always on?
I may be an insensitive clod, but you, sir are an unintelligent dork.
Tomorrow, I can take sensitivity training, you.... well....
just to reverse the math to check the other way, 1mph * (# of hours in a day) = 24 miles traveled.
where the hell did you get 200 meters in 14 days? you would go further than that in 1 minute.
(1 miles = 1609 (and some change) meters / 60 = 268.17 meters per minute.
but again, IANAM

Does this mean I can (eventually) get modified to shoot lasers from my eyes?
or fingertips?
Presumably ;-) OK, I typed that a little fast. Having said that...urm...'perform authtication' then? Anybody got a less clumsy way to say it?
I think the word you are looking for is "authenticate"
Sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from insanity.

I read the title as "Selective Service being reinstated for mandatory mission to Saturn's moon"
Absolutely hilarious. I laughed for a good 2 minutes after reading that just imagining the chaos that created. Thank you for sharing.
wow, I hope that wasn't for paying a bill, you might find your house foreclosed when you get back.
That reminds me of this:
