• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Badass Hornet


The Giant Japanese Hornet is 2 inches long. That's right. It also has a wingspan of over 3 inches too. That's Badass. There is a YouTube video on them wiping out an entire honey bee hive. This is some real scary stuff, and an even scarier fact is that Giant Japanese Hornets are responsible for more deaths than all other venomous and non venomous animals combined in Japan each year.



Also, the distance the Killer bees and honey bees chase you is somewhat limited. But the Giant Japanese Hornet will chase you for over three miles. For a 2" bug, that's badass.

So, I vote for badass hornet.

I hate to crush anyone's impression of me as a superhuman, cyborg type........................thingy......................but I doubt they'll need to chase me 3 yards before catching my slow :cus:. My best bet is there'll be some other panicky old dudes running for it and, I'll be able to trip one of 'em. ;)

UPDATE: Just looked these up..........................they eat preying mantises!!!! :yikes:

On a serious note................I actually saw one of these monsters (didn't realize till now what it was........Asian [not Japanese] Giant Hornet). When I was working in the Stan.................we (PSD Team) had taken some military techs to a small Afghan National Police station along side Highway 4, between Kandahar and Spin Boldak. While the techs were doing their thing, installing tech stuff, me and the other security guys stationed ourselves out front to monitor highway traffic, and traffic at the several hadji shops across the highway, and our excellent ANP hosts who weren't really trustworthy (you know; all that green on blue :cus: you're always seeing on the news?). Anyway, it was hotter than :cus: all, as usual......................so my partner and I stepped into a mud walled shanty (here's where things start to go wrong) with a mud daubed brush roof, for some shade. So we're inside keeping an eye on things out front, and chit chatting. When I notice this HUGE freakin' hornet hanging upside down from the mud/brush ceiling directly over my partner's head. Man! This thing is as big as my thumb.....................I could believe how thick the body was! So I says to my partner, "Look straight up". He does and says, :cus::cus:!!!!!!! We both moved outside into the 130 + sunlight, and started laughing about how two guys with assault rifles and pistols just got run off by an insect!
