Bumble bees

Yesterday, wearing a yellow and black shirt, and a long black skirt, I felt like a bumble bee. It reminded me of a wonderful quote I read once ...

“According to the theory of aerodynamics, and as may be readily demonstrated through experiments, the Bumble Bee is unable to fly. This is because the size, the weight, and the shape of his body in relation to his wingspread make flying impossible. But the Bumble Bee, being ignorant of these scientific truths, goes ahead and flies anyway - and makes a little honey everyday!"
