Zombie wasps!!!
 

I killed a jasper this morning, gave it a good whack, stunned it then cut off its 'head'

Left it on the floor cos I'm lazy.

Just noticed that 5 hours later it has come back to life and is now crawling in a circle and trying to fly!!!!!

:eek:

Tease it with some jam on a string...

Oh, hang on, no head = no nose.. won't be able to smell it obviously...

Put it in a matchbox, wrap a photo round it and put it on the skull of a dog !
(this may not make sense to people who haven't read any Iain Banks books !)

:D

Pardon my ignorance but...

Jasper?

haven't heard the term 'jasper' used for aaaaagggggggggeeeeeeeeessssss;)


its slang for wasp btw!

Never heard of jasper either, well i have now.:)


Mrs Carlos

Well, I would have said it was a northern thing but then I noticed Edcase had a location of Bristol which isn't exactly in the north!!!!!

wtf, that was a bit much wasnt it..?

Did you purposely go and get a cutting implement to do this or did you have one to hand anyway!!:)

I've managed to cut one in half with a knife as it was flying around me when I was eating lunch outside!! :D

Deffo not a northern thing exclusively. I'm a Southampton boy and Jasper was the in word for wasps when I was a teen (1983-1989) :D

the body is moving??


so what happened to the head??

on top of the mantlepiece saying "I SEE YOU"

ok, so more like an 80s thing then;):p

You're probably right you know ;)

I thought it was a janner thing? (Thats slang for people from the South West btw :))

Do you know, I tried to squash it while it was stunned with the nearest thing to hand, which was the end of an A4 notepad, but somehow I missed the body, and just the wire rings caught its 'neck' and off it came! I very much thought it was dead til 5 hours later I noticed it trying to fly :Suspiciou

It soon got tired of that! :lol:

A lot of the basic bodily functions are controlled by the insect's sub-oesophageal ganglion - a kind of mini-brain. Insects have several ganglia of this type, distributed through the body. The body doesn't really need the head except to navigate, recognise danger, and find and eat food. :D

They don't have lungs either; the air gets directly into the body through tiny branched cavities in the abdomen. :)

What a fountain :notworthy :D

I've got one of them, it always seems to come into play when I am a passenger in somebody elses car, or have to go into a meeting where females are present.

Advertise it on E-Bay under "Zombie Wasp, Not Subaru, Evo, etc..."!

yea mines down my pants LOL

LMGDFAO!!!

Funniest post for a long while!!! :rofl:

I've only been out six weeks, how about yourself?

:Suspiciou

lol, :cuckoo:

:thumb: good book though.

I've never heard of it and I'm about as Northern as you can get without being Scottish...

Its the month of May. Wasps dont exist in May. Therefore it must have been a bluebottle in disguise. (I have a significant fobia for Jaspers and appear to be in denial).
:)

In the beer garden last summer, as usual being pestered by the odd wasp hovering round our pints, so I slammed my pint glass down on one and got its stinger bit (the stripey yellow and black bit), tearing it off.

It crawled on the table for a bit before flying off again :eek:

We wern't so bothered about it after that...seeing that it lost its sting :D

Dude, It's a wasp. :D
