That was the story in the paper (internet) today.
A beetle. A bug. Some kinda new found beetle was named after a Rock Legend.
A Rock Legend.
Now if I discover some new rare kinda beetle and wanna name it after a "Rock legend" my first thought is to name the "beetle" after...you know....a Beatle. A Rock legend.
Or why even bother?
Turns out the douche that wasted half his life searching for this 'rare beetle' named it after Roy Orbison.
A rock legend.
As dumb as that is I almost half expected this idiot to name it after the 'rock legend' Quartz. Or Shale. Or some other rock legend. Clever these bug and rock guys can be.
Or something.
I can't wait to find a Roy Orbison and squash it. That'll learn geek scientist guy!
ReplyDeleteHere I'll give you another topic:
ReplyDeleteRoy Orbrison is neither Rock nor Legend. Discuss.
I'm gonna discover a new kind of stone next and name it after a legend...hmmmm...what could I name a new stone after...hmmmm...I know! The Beatles! Genius!
ReplyDeleteRoy is sitting here next to me, crying over your heartless remarks. Crying (over you). Cry-i-i-i-ing over you. Cry-i-i-i-ing over you.
ReplyDeleteUnlike Paul Harvey, you left out "the rest of the story."
ReplyDelete"In 2005, Geeky Scientist Guy and his colleague Geeky Scientist Gal of the University of New Mexico discovered 65 new species of slime-mold beetle in the genus Agathidium. They named one of the beetles after Darth Vader and others for President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld."
Beetles are delish! I'm a-gonna ask the wife to boil me up some for mah supper tonight, yeeee-haw!
ReplyDeleteWhat if the Beatles wrote songs about Beetles?!
