Why all this hating on feet? 
Feet (and knees) are great in my book. I've had to make reference to knees as a feeble excuse to post the following song by Spike Milligan: You've got to have knees You've got to have knees They're the things that take stock when you sneeze You've got to have knees You've got to have knees They only come in twos but never threes You've got to have knees You've got to have knees In the winter fill them up with anti-freeze You've got to have knees You've got to have knees Famous for having them are bees You've got to have knees You've got to have knees If you want to see mine, say please You've got to have knees You've got to have knees They help you run away from falling trees Knees. Wonderful knees! But the same could be said of feet.  Where would we be without them? I say give feet and knees the respect they deserve. | |

i don't get it. what's with the 17 years? when will they all die and go away? It's a fascinating little quirk of evolution - Stephen Jay Gould had a chapter in one of his books about Cicada cycles. unfortunately it's been quite a few years since I've read it, but I do seem to recall that the most likely explanation was that it was a defense mechanism against predators and was also related to the fact that cicada life cycles are prime numbers (some cicadas have 13 year cycles, some 7 year...). Most cicada predators have three or four year life cycles, so having prime numbers as their life cycle will mean cicadas will maximize their freedom from attack by dangerous species. | |

  What in the bejeebers is that?  How in hades am I suppose to sleep tonight? I had to google that beast up since I had no idea what you were speaking about! 
I also found this.... Tell me this dude is straight lieing! 'Nice nutty flavor' I was probably the biggest fan popcorn had, that was before trying Cicadas. They are yummy. A nice nutty flavor if you don't burn them like I did my first batch. They haven't made their way to Crawfordsville proper yet. I've had to travel south to gather the little winged delicacies, but it has been worth it. My last batch I did with a little honey along with the garlic . . . Oh . . . to die for!

James Hall, Crawfordsville no, that sounds like the truth. some bugs can be pretty tasty if you prepare them right. i've never eaten any, though. | |

Apparently termites have a taste quite similar to almonds. I recall reading a book by Richard Leakey (I think) some years back where he stated that when he was trekking through African jungles he would grab handfuls of termites and pop them into his mouth as a snack. Most survival guides suggest that, if you are lost without food, you should eat insects. They're loaded with protein | |
