    *flashback to midterm reunion*
    Liz:*bursts out laughing* Ooh, I just remembered I left my anti-histamine in London, if I get stung by a bee I'll die!"
    Me:"Uhm... Liz? That's not a good thing."

    Good times.

    Ah yes, that wasn't good. At least I didn't get stung! I'm pretty sure I wont die, but still, it's good to have on me just in case

    What happens if you give the anti-histamines to bees?

    Seems like it'd neutralise their sting... Having thought about it for all of ten seconds, then getting distracted by something shiny.

    I'd just like to see someone trying to feed a bee an antihistamine...

    (I have an urge to burst into Eric the Half-a-Bee now.)

    He is Eric the half-a-bee, who John Cleese once loved carnally, apparently.

    A one... two-- A one... two... three... four...
    Half a bee, philosophically,
    Must, ipso facto, half not be.
    But half the bee has got to be
    Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?

    But can a bee be said to be
    Or not to be an entire bee
    When half the bee is not a bee
    Due to some ancient injury?

    Singing...

    La dee dee, one two three,
    Eric the half a bee.
    A B C D E F G,
    Eric the half a bee.

    Is this wretched demi-bee,
    Half-asleep upon my knee,
    Some freak from a menagerie?
    No! It's Eric the half a bee!

    Fiddle de dum, Fiddle de dee,
    Eric the half a bee.
    Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
    Eric the half a bee.

    I love this hive, employee-ee,
    Bisected accidentally,
    One summer afternoon by me,
    I love him carnally.

    He loves him carnally,
    Semi-carnally.
    The end.

    Cyril Connelly?
    No; semi-carnally!
    Oh.

    Cyril Connelly.
    [whistling]





    And there was much rejoicing.

    Hey anybody heard of/read the book "The Rule Of Four"? Tis unbelieveably good, far better than the Da Vinci Code...
    Read it and hated it!
    Thought the characters were very wooden - as in the dialogue between them was so unbelievable - and found it very hard to connect with any of them
    The story moved too slow, took so long to actually get anywhere! There was no suspense and was so long-winded!
    Stuck it out to the end hoping for some amazing plot twist - and I was bitterly disappointed!
    Don't know how they could even compare it to The Da Vinci Code!

    Saying that - my brother gave it to me and he thought it was brilliant???
    Maybe its just a guy thing?

    If you didn't read english and you couldn't identify a jar of honey, you might think it was made of bee extracts cause they always have pictures of bees on them.
