Beepocalypse

[sabotabby]

There's something poetic about the beepocalypse*; it won't be a nuclear holocaust that does us in, or even global-warming-related flooding, but a sudden absence of bees.**



Caused by, of course, that quintessential sign of social decay, the cell phone.

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a ring-tone.***

** Do you think that I can get anyone to form a band with me called A Sudden Absence of Bees? No, I don't think so either. No one likes my band names.

Wait, what do cell phones have to do with it?

I am down with your band names. I had an imaginary band for a while called Bad Breast. It was a psychoanalytic joke, deeply hilarious.

Cell phones are killing the bees!

Heh.

And by "killing" I meant "disorienting." Or something.

I glanced at an article, maybe the same one. Seems we're, uh, degaussing them? Demagnetizing? Did one know bees were magnetized in the first place?
