Why waste a good theme? Muslims may behead you if you diss them, but the Irish will often buy you a beer. I’ll go with the odds:
A secret agent parachutes into the Irish countryside near a small village to make contact with a spy in that village. All he knew about the spy was his name, O’Brien, and the code phrase “The crows fly at midnight.” After disposing of his parachute, he stealthily enters the town. Seeing an establishment called Mick’s Pub, he decides his first stop should be orientation and refreshment, not necessarily in that order. So he goes in and orders a beer. As he sits down, a constable who happened to be in the pub says, “Hello, stranger. May I help you in any way?”
The agent figures, why not? So he says, “Yes, Constable. I’m looking for a man named O’Brien.”
“Well,” the constable starts, “There are several O’Brien in this town. See those two drunk twins at the bar? Their names are O’Brien. That beat-up man in the corner? He’s an O’Brien, as well. There’s a shopkeeper O’Brien, a farrier O’Brien…in fact, me own name is O’Brien!”
“It is?”
“Sure’n truth, it is.”
What do I have to lose? the agent thinks to himself. So he clears his throat, and says to the constable, “The crows fly at midnight.”
The constable breaks into a knowing grin. “Oh, ‘tis O’Brien the spy you’d be wantin’!”
Also, does anyone else ever get irrationally upset by lightning? It’s like, “Good lord! The clouds are crashing into each other! Somebody do something!”
I’m pretty sure only the female bumblebees are the only ones that visit flowers and gather pollen so she wouldn’t be commenting that a Steve was there.
don’t know. about a hundred times? bees are electric? where do they put the batteries? so many questions with so few answers. 1 believe 1 or not? 1 I suppose it’s possible.
The bumblebees where I used to live must have been the dumb kind: I would sit on the porch and watch as they went flower to flower, then another would come along and do the same.
I have often seen bees hovering over a flower, but going on to another blossom. I always assumed it was due to fantastic eyesight, not electric fields.
It is possible that sounds these planets and satellites emit is due to the fact that they have their own magnetic fields, are rotating and spinning through their orbits around the sun. Much the same as the thrumming one hears as they spin a rock in a sling shot; or even just an ordinary rope spinning over your head as fast as you can!
Mars hums because (1). It has forgotten the words to the song, (2). Martians are giant bees and their hive is humming with activity, or (3). I have no clue.

Why does Mars make a humming noise? Hey, do I have to be the one to answer that? OK…because it doesn’t know the words. (Sigh…)

Maybe Mars is just in a good mood?

In space, no one can hear you hum.

No one is sure why? Obviously it’s em aliens or martians making that sound. Just what the alien astronaut theorists had always suspected.

Hum a few bars and maybe Venus will sing along.

With 100 strikes per second, we should be able to harness lightning and get rid of those unsightly wind turbines.

BTW, Mars doesn’t hum: the electronics in the communication radios are just poorly made.
