Several years ago I used a shovel to chop at a Wasp and I cut his Face off . He still had his head and I had both eyes and Antennae attached to his "Mask" on the end of my shovel . The Wasp was acting like nothing happened , shifting his stance as he normally does when alertly guarding his nest . Several seconds later the Wasp jumped into the air and started to fly , but obviously without eyes he went off course and crashed into the ground several inches away . Got up and did it again a few times . The last time I saw the wasp it was still alive . I watched it for a few minutes and I don't recall if it finally flew away or crawled away . True Story
One of my jobs in the Scout camp I worked at for several years was Axemanship Instructor. We were mostly about safety, but I did a little trick to promote accuracy. At the end of the class, I stuck a (non-safety -- can you get these anymore?) match upright and lit it with one swing of the axe. Sometimes it worked! Keep the good stuff coming, Cody!
"Then Wranglerstar, bearing the mighty Small Forest Axe newly whet, hewed forth and clove the winged beast asunder. And lo! Jesus rose from his throne in amaze."
You know you utterly deserve that smug grin... but if you really want to earn it you have to buy the GB throwing axe and pin something horrible to a target...
Now, like the brave little Taylor from the Grimm brothers fairytale, you have to make yourself a leather belt that tells the tale. How about, "From head to toe at one stroke" ?
Nice longitudinal section! Biology 1000 Lab would like a demonstration. I often have my axes that sharp but I don't think I have the accuracy to hit a fly right in the middle! More like a couple of inches to either side....
lol..that's great cody!..as a kid I used to tie off bailing twine to a stick to make a whip. I'd then go in the screened in porch and go fly popping. got pretty dang good with it! by the way, I GOT MY SIGNED BOOK TODAY. I'm soo excited and am already into it on my lunch. thanks for sharing your life. you've touched mine and my boys life in a positive way.
I never understand people who have such a casual disregard for life in any form. What an ego it takes to want to dominate and obliterate life in any form
Every living creature is worthy of life and to take life in such a cavalier manor speaks volumes about a person. It is the smallest detail in life that sorts out the biggest!
Enjoy the rants from the fly huggers.
So... whats the PETA phone number? LOL that is Sharp and dare I say A Skill.
How despicable! A poor African kid could have eaten that ax!
I wonder if my university bio lab professors would mind me bringing in my wetterlings for cross sections and anatomy? hmm..
I once cut a fly wing off when sharpening a knife, it was funny cause the fly fell down like a spitfire
all those poor orphaned flies who will surely die.
I would like to see that in slow motion
I remember seeing this video a long time ago?

Fly lovers really think that all the insects die surrounded by friends and family on a hospital bed.

A fly. In the vast infiniteness of space your thoughts and problems are materially insignificant.
Every living creature is worthy of life and to take life in such a cavalier manor speaks volumes about a person.
