How about this guy that did the Busselton Ironman wearing a warm looking
bumble-bee suit!

The symbolism is that when people tell you that something's not possible,
think of the Bumblebee, which according to the experts, shouldn't be able to
fly!

I think the quote is "aerodynamically, bumble bees can not fly", but
sciences advances and my understanding is that they now can explain how
bumblebees fly by chaos theory. So the eddies caused by butterflies that
cause thunderstorms elsewhere are also the explanation as to how bumble
bees flie.

And given a choice between dressing up as a bear and a bumblebee, I
definitely find the bumblebee more appealing. Perhaps I should start
doing my bikes in black and white (bum strips on native bees I have in
my garden) {.

Terry deep down we all know that, but we wanted to believe in the myth that
they shouldn't fly so as to inspire us mere mortals to do things only the
gods are capable of. It's like revealing to a child that Santa doesn't
exist. Why should the child behave in the belief that Santa will bring him
presents if he's good, when Santa Claus doesn't exist anyway?

We need some good thunderstorms down our way so if you see any bumblebees
tell 'em to flap them chaotic wings as hard as they can.

Merry Christmas

Where did you loose this bet, and why?
