Also, certain species of bees disembowel themselves when they sting you. So they really have a lot more to lose from it than you.
...that's because, btw, the sting of the bee has microscopic hooks on it. And due to the thickness of the human skin (and due to bees not knowing that, of course), bees usually get stuck until they, as you said, disembowel themselves.
Other stuff:
- The Time Machine in "Back to the Future" was supposed to be built into a fridge. The Power for the Trip back at the end of the film also was supposed to be provided by the explosion of a nuclear bomb, wich had Marty and Doc sneaking onto a then-active weapons testing site.
The former concept was scrapped because producers were worried that children may climb in fridges after seeing the movie and suffocate, the latter was abandoned because it was too hard to pull of budget and scriptwise.
Still, if it had worked, BTTF would've nuked the fridge long before Indy did ^^.
- That said, the term "jumping the shark", describing the exact moment of wich a TV series or movie is "ruined", was defined as such by "Happy Days", Season 5 Episode 1, in wich the character Fonzie...well, jumps over a shark while water skiing.
The term was then popularized by jumptheshark.com wich listed those moments for other TV Series.
Also the term was used and parodied in various TV Series, like Supernatural, South Park, and The X-Files.
- David Hayter, Voice Actor of Solid Snake, wrote and co-wrote several movie skripts, including X-Men 1 and 2, as well as Watchmen. Latter was rewritten by Alex Tse, however, writer of the original Watchmen Comic Alan Moore, who is generally openly and agressively against any movie adaption of his Comics (like From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and V for Vendetta) said surprisingly that Hayter's Skript was possibly the closest thing to an accurate Adaptation.
Hayter also wrote the skript for a Metal Gear Solid Movie and tried to convince Fans to petition to Sony that it would be used for an adaption.
- Speaking of Skriptwriters, the easiest thing to make Joss Whedon sad is to mention Alien:Ressurection, of wich he wrote the first draft. Not only he is ashamed of his own writing, he also considers the final product (after several rewrites) to be much worse.
- South Park is actually fully computer animated since season 3.
- Paris Hilton's casting in Repo! The Genetic Opera was actually not any kind of publicity stunt. The director didn't even want Hilton to audition, but after the Producers convinced him to give her a shot, he was actually convinced by her acting to give her the role. Well, she does play a slutty heir to a Billionaire...
- A LOT of world's history and literature got lost since several of the biggest libaries in ancient history were burned down during wars.
