I heard a weird buzzing noise tonight while I was working at my desk. I looked down and saw this:
This may have been the weirdest thing I've ever seen on my floor. The insect was definitely breakdancing. Check out this quicktime movie (2 MB, 15 shamefully unoptimized seconds) of it to see what I mean. If you look really close, you can see the teeny boombox where the music is coming from.
That thar is the nifftiest little beetle dance I ever dun seen! Da you thunk that beetle thar hit itself aginst a hot laght bulb end got burnt or what not? That cuddah made it all disorientatid end ijurious-like to make it stand on its hed and flap 'round in circles. Just er possibilite.
