Anyway, I have a biology class. The teacher assigned a project that is due (for me) on November fourth, though I need to announce my subject by...maybe around October tenth?
I really like this project, though, because of how open the subject criterion is. We need to report on "something to do with biology."
For instance, he showed us a YouTube video about a type of wasp that paralyses a cockroach, drags it to a small, enclosed space, lays her egg in it, then leaves it while her baby eats it alive from the inside out, then escapes. I only knew about the kind that did this with tarantulas!
Anyway, he said that would be a great topic if he hadn't already showed it to us. It COULD be something we've already gone over in class...but how boring would that be?
So, I know there are a bunch of amazing biology things out there (I'm particularly interested in those having to do with organisms themselves), and what I ask of you is: Have any of you seen something awesome out there on the Internet (or somewhere else, if it's amazing enough) related to biology? If so, I'd like to see. I'm enthralled in this stuff. I read this for fun. Glowing flowers, genome disruption. It's like my crack.
Anyway, I'm thinking of a few things. I don't want to do this because it's too depressing for me. I'm thinking about doing something on the involuntary actions of the human body (specifically how the spinal column sometimes controls our muscles before our brain can, a.k.a. "reflex"), but I thought that was kind of bland.
For the presentation part, we're making a poster and setting it up in our lab class, then we'll meander around and take turns speaking while everyone else stands and watches. Sort of like a science fair, but without the experiments.
Anyway, I want something that a typical passerby being would actually be curious about. I like providing people with interesting information. Anyway, thank you. 8D

AHA <- Face.
I loves teh interestings.

I was watching something today on a species of bulldog ants that are native to Australia, I do believe. They are fascinating creatures with a vicious nature and a totally female run society. Turns out they actually jump males, cut off their wings, and drag them underground as a prisoner to be used for reproduction purposes only; kind of like a bad relationship XD [link]
If not that, I have many more odd things O:

I respect Australians and Aborigines just for existing. The life there is pure badassery.
Anyway, I want something more interesting.
PS: I watch Discovery Channel like that too, so I wish you luck trying to amaze me. Seriously. O:
That sounded really rude. XD

Just you wait. I'll find something that will amaze even you!

Especially since you're also in effect doing my homework for me.
GO, YOU, GO! 8D

It reminds me of a skull face for some reason. o:
So with one it's okay?
