Last Week's Question - (from Ian P) - What happens when you spray a bug with "bug repellent"? Does he spiral into a period of self-loathing and depression? How long could such an effect last for? Would taking a bath help?
------
Your Answers -
Bucky H - the bug would probably have a similar reaction as you or I would if we
were completely sprayed and covered with bug repellent.
Sarah KW - I'd like the answer your question with a question. Do bugs have the capacity for self-loathing and depression? If they did, wouldnt they already be depressed for being so low on the food chain?
Lori W - I don't think bug repellent does anything to harm the bug. They just
sit back in the distance and wait for it to wear off all the kids or
they simply adapt to the poison until the perfect moment to start
attacking you again. Bugs are completely ruthless.
I've also noticed that when I use bug repellent that it always seems to
hurt me more than it hurts the bugs. The smell is nauseating and I end
up being repelled against myself (something you have to see to believe).
The point is... nature is gross. End of discussion.
Kate G - I think at the very least being sprayed with repellant would put a
damper on the bug's social life for a while--who wants to date someone
that smells like bugspray? Eww.

This Week's Question - So, in a local elementary school parking lot I saw a space reserved for "Teacher of the Year." "That's nice," I thought. Right next to it was a space reserved for "Assistant of the Year." And sitting squarely in that spot was a Port-o-John. Now, this was a public school...but has education really sunk that low?
Don't be bashful, Send in your Answers!
