Bark Beetles Hate Rush Limbaugh and Heavy Metal

Aryabhata writes "According to scientists, climate change and human activity have allowed bark beetle populations to soar. They decided to fight the beetles by using the 'nastiest, most offensive sounds' that they could think of. These sounds included recordings of Guns & Roses, Queen, Rush Limbaugh and manipulated versions of the insects' own sounds. The research project titled 'Beetle Mania' has concluded that acoustic stress can disrupt their feeding and even cause the beetles to kill each other."

So we're more alike then we thought...

So by feeding insects our media we have made them more human (killing themselves etc.)... good find!

Also proven disruptive to Beatles...

It's simple. In Capitalism, man exploits man. In Communism, it's the exact opposite.

You see, the exact opposite of man exploits man, is man exploits man.

You see?
