Happy St Patrick’s day, especially if you are actually Irish and have a legitimate reason for participating in the internationally recognised Guinness marketing and green-plastic-hat-wearing day. (Me? Cynical about how a national day of celebration has been stolen by multi-national corporations in an excuse to sell their products? Why, what could possibly give you that idea….)
And now, the news:
Florida on guard against giant snails
Five bitten in spate of spider bites
HDTV reveals brainy octopus has no personality
Insect that fights Japanese knotweed to be released
Hmm, I’ve seen similar solutions where the introduced species becomes an even greater problem than what it was meant to be combating, swallowing a spider to catch a fly is ‘knot’ a good idea.
