<span style="font-size: large;"> 1. The East Asian Giant Hornet, some facts:</span><br />
<ul><li>The stinger of the Asian giant hornet is about <strong>a quarter-inch</strong> (6 mm) in length, and injects an <strong>especially potent venom</strong> that contains an enzyme so strong that it <strong>can dissolve human tissue</strong>.</li>
<li>Masato Ono, an entomologist at Tamagawa University near Tokyo, described the sensation [of being stung] as feeling “<strong>like a hot nail through my leg.</strong>“</li>
<li>Like all hornets, <em>V. mandarinia</em> [fancy for Big F'in' Bee] <strong>can sting repeatedly</strong>, and do so when they prey on bees and other insects [and presumably would with me too].</li>
<li>If a person is stung by the giant hornet and does not receive prompt medical treatment, <strong>he or she may die</strong> from a reaction to the venom. About 40 people die each year after being stung by giant hornets, mainly as a result of an allergic reaction to the venom.</li>
<li>The hornets can devastate a colony of honeybees: a single hornet can kill as many as 40 honeybees <strong>per minute</strong>; it takes only a few of these hornets a few hours to exterminate the population of a 30,000-member honeybee hive, leaving <strong>a trail of severed insect heads and limbs</strong>.</li>
<li>In Japan’s mountain villages, the hornets are valued as part of the basic diet. They are eaten deep fried or as a kind of hornet sashimi.</li>
<li>(from freedictionary.com)</li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. </span></span>Polish businessman and philanthropist Daniel Czapiewski built <a href="http://freshome.com/2007/09/08/amazing-upside-down-house">The Upside Down House</a> as a statement about the Communist era and <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">the end of the world</span>. It took 114 days to build because the workers were so disoriented by the angles of the walls. It certainly attracts its fair share of tourists to the tiny village of Szymbark, who often become dizzy and ‘seasick’ after just a few moments inside.<br />

2. The ‘<a href="http://www.zerocouriers.com/andrea/?p=1408">bubble house</a>’ of Tourrettes-sur-Loup, France, is only 35 years old and has yet to be finished, but that hasn’t stopped the French ministry of culture from listing it as a historic <a href="http://weburbanist.com/monuments" onmouseout="self.status=''" onmouseover="self.status='monument';return true;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">monument</a>. Designed in the 70s by Hungarian architect Antti Lovag for fashion designer Pierre Cardin, the bubble house is futuristic yet organic, with lots of built-in furniture and oval, convex windows. The design is meant to take optimal advantage of the volcanic Côte d’Azur landscape, and its windows certainly provide a beautiful view of the Mediterranean.Pictures you wont believe are NOT Photoshoppedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03235679492598372514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726196872797978675.post-18067356011753413722010-05-14T08:56:00.000-07:002010-05-14T08:57:10.885-07:00Explanations and Vids!!<span style="font-size: large;">Background info:</span><br />
