For the record, about a decade ago, I used to say that they ought to replace ESPN 2 with the "2 Bugs in a Jar" channel.

Clearly, the rest of the world is listening to my dreams.

Which means we are less than a decade away from FLYING FUCKING CARS, MUTHAFUCKAS!

They're probably handy for killing squirrels then.

There's a fight someone needs to make happen.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

We can all eat squirrel and mantis flavoured crisps while we watch.

It comes as no surprise to me that it's allllll dudes in this thread. :mrgreen:

I probably won't watch any of those on account of me probably feeling sorry for the insects. I'm one of those sad, pathetic people who can handle seeing people die in a movie, but I'm crying like a baby once the horse in the battle gets shot or whatever.
