Between the man^H^Heat-eating fish [slashdot.org], the crazy centipedes [slashdot.org], and now the bees, it seems like we really have no idea about anything that goes on in this world. It's strange how environmental news is really playing up this whole "when species other than humans attack" even though it's "when species other than humans move somewhere they weren't previously". I wonder if the newswire of the animal world complains about humans moving around? It just goes to show how one-sided / inside the box our thinking as a race is.
