Ahhhhh! We're all going to die! These are the bugs from
Jackie Chan's 'Tuxedo!' ;)

Soon, english professors will decipher how to make sure everyone can use grammar right.

Note for you later farkers: Headline was grammatically incorrect.

/grammar police

Ku_no_Ichi I'm a microbiologist, do you want me to talk dirty to you?

Scientists have also discovered these bugs can feed the masses with fish and a loaf of bread.

A Christ complex?

so, when do I get my Jebus shoes?

Scientists have decipher the mystery

Not to be a spelling nazi here, but you meant deciphered right?

He walks on water?



Strider? Get it? Sorry.

I have finish my homework now. Can I go out in play.

/grammar basics people should have learn in elementary school.

"Scientists have concluded that Jesus was an insect"

/obligatory "I submitted this with a funnier headline yesterday" comment

Also, is "decipher" really something you do to a mystery? I thought you were supposed to "unravel" them.

Nice.

National Geographic has a cool picture to go with their version of the story:

Didn't this guy walk on water too, or something.

wouldn't it be cool if they could make boats with this technology?

I have wonder how headlines such as this get posted. I honsetly don't thinks some of those have been check.

Woah, instant album cover!

Since when was surface tension a major scientific breakthrough? Not that I have any grasp of science. I actually believed Katrina and the Waves were a group of solar-ray travellers.

Me fail English?
That's unpossible!

Still no cure for sinking robot replica water striders.

Oh there is? Rad.

Still no cure for cancer?

Insects have always bugged me. That's why I smoosh them.

...the NG pic, that is.

/grammar basics people should have learn in elementary school.

Heheh :) I hope that was on purpose.

We need to start a new cliche for these science headlines: Still no cure for bad grammar.

To think, I thought it was an irreducibly complex process only explained by God.

Homer: Ling-wo dead?
Ling-wo: Ling-wo is dead.

(so are grammatically correct headlines...)

Nope- unravelling is what you do to mysteries, especially those wrapped in enigmas.

As far as this discovery goes, I think there are plenty of crawly-things around. I don't see the need to make new ones. Especially robot ones.

TomFoolery: Soon, english professors will decipher how to make sure everyone can use grammar right.

And you complain about the grammar in the headline?

Mwhahahaaha. We are finally one step closer to creating a biblical super robot. With an army of these I can smite anyone who stands in my way. Let me start checking these things off....

[ ] Samson's strength.
[ ] Moses power to split water.
[X] Jesus ability to walk on water.
[ ] Lazarus longevity.
[ ] Noah's skill at herding animals.
[ ] Adam's disregard for clothing.
[ ] Judas team winning attitude.
[ ] Sol's good luck.

Hmm, damnit we have a long way to go. Why won't these idiot scientists hurry up. See, now I'm mad...Must remain calm..INNER STRENGTH.....inneeer streeength.

</i> ahem ;)

Please disregard my attempt at wit in my previous submission.

It don't make no sense.

Walks on water

Oh yeah -- "invisible U-shaped vortices" -- thaaaat explains it. I'll go make me some a them too!

or about HTML...

why couldn't they use high speed fotography of real insects to figure the same thing out?

To get the surface tension just to support one person, you'd need like a mile of surface area,
and some sort of imaginary material that's strength/weight ratio is sick.

Aww, i always just assumed it was space magic....like i assume is the cause of anything i don't know or understand.

vortices - A spiral motion of fluid within a limited area, especially a whirling mass of water or air that sucks everything near it toward its center.

with words like that, these researchers are the life of the party, pass the Zima please.

Hose down the sidewalk and I too can walk on water

/Sheesh, like it's some big deal or something...

i always thought it was water tention.

Because of this, the water strider is able to obey Newton's third law of motion.

I personally completely disregard Newtons third law.

OK, Blaze, now explain how an insect's foot creates a vortex.

Please. (Cuz I gotta figure out some way to impress chicks.)
