Here's my recreation...
... I actually think they're drawn to the high pitched frequency signal emitted from pressing the button... no swatting, though... they miraculously pass right through the tines, no matter how great your backhand...
... spot one, turn it on, and when 'the eagle has landed' is spoken, enjoy the fireworks... way better than the electric chair scene in the Green Mile...
... serious... I really can't stand them.
I have 3 of those dotted around the house, I will have to test your theory next time a wasp gets in.
I listen to the radio (quite often 
) and, yesterday, I heard something pretty sound. (Par-din the pun 
) Sometimes I tune in to Radio Print Handicapped to get wind of what the papers are saying and this is what I heard - When you let your hearing go, some of your brain goes too.
So, in-a-nutshell, if you're not hearing properly, the melon's rotting. Keep it in mind It all makes (auditory) sense. They've discovered there is a noticeable link between early-onset cognitive loss and hearing loss. Keep your ears and you keep your wits about you. There are no amethysts in vox holes

Wait, which way did the correlation run? Does hearing loss lead to cognitive capacity loss or does cognitive capacity loss lead to hearing loss? Because one certainly makes more sense than the other. I could see how cognitive ability loss (and the associated, causal decay of the brain as a whole) could lead to a sort of hearing loss, but I really doubt that losing hearing due to physical damage of the ear would lead to loss of mental capacity unless you're looking specifically at how after not hearing and decoding noises as much (or at all) how the associated parts of the brain may atrophy, but that wouldn't likely lead to any loss of cognitive ability assuming you're still exercising your brain in other ways.
If Homer Simpson were a Democratic congressman from Springfield, Ohio, he’d be “Homer Simpson (D-OH)."
If he was a mascot for Pillsbury, he be the Pillsbury D’oh Boy.
Today I learned about antimagnets. I don't have a particular link to share, but it's an interesting subject.
I wish you could just record silence and then play it on loudspeakers on full blast to make the whole room quiet.
I learned that wisdom is not necessarily intellect and that intellect is not necessarily smartness and that being smart doesn't mean you are bright and that you can be bright but not all that brainy and that being brainy doesn't mean you are well-versed and that being well-versed doesn't mean you know everything and that knowing everything doesn't mean you have to brag about it and that bragging about something doesn't mean you're all that good at it..and...I'm sorry...what were we talking about....??...?
This has me thinking. Obviously there is no way to record silence, but I'll bet a Quiet Machine is actually feasible.
I've been in the quietest room on earth by myself. I can tell you that pure silence is actually really loud. You can hear your blood pumping, every breath is emphasized.
I learned (yesterday; does it still count?) that being a jerk only in my head is still being a jerk. If I keep my expression and mannerisms even-keel so everybody thinks I'm nice, really I've just elevated jerk-ness to passive aggressive jerk-ness.
I don't do this crap very often anymore, so whenever I indulge it I'm sorry quickly.
