So... let me see if I understand this.... you are saying we are sort of like a
bunch of bees that for some reason have this need to buzz a bowl at some
applicatory speed to ...... presumably keep from bumping into each other ??...
:) Or perhaps we are more akin to the cockroach colonies that need to scutter
scitter and scatter along the floor without any undue dilatoriness in order
that we should not be spediciously squished ?

I new we humans were a cut apart from the rest of the animal kingdom... but I
didnt think that meant we were simply sophisticated insects. :)
