    Some trivia from learning to murder pests.

    Ya'll know those gray segmented bugs that roll up in a little ball? AKA Pill Bugs, Rollipollies? They aren't bugs They are relatives of crabs and lobsters and are crustaceans! If a mouse gets stuck on a glue trap what does it die of? Starvation? Heart attack? Nope, they die from hypothermia Lots of other strange things but these struck me as weird.

        Really, I won't! I got sent to the principals office one time in grade school for shooting "bugs" at someone, the whole time they were wrong! I was shooting crustaceans.

          It's not weird for them. Talk about weird and strange: Consider tangential wood movement, is it still alive? And what about bowing, cupping, and warping, is the wood trying to tell us something? Now, boys and girls in the neighborhood, there will be a test tomorrow, so study hard.
