One thing I never understood about Back to the Future

My mum breeds bumble bees for their fur

 

[Easy 10]

not strictly true (so Mother Nature tells me herself).
Originally the BumbleBee was a distant relation of the Beetle but without the wings, it used to climb the Flower Stem to retrieve the pollen from within. Flowers then grew bigger petals thus causing the Bumble problems in getting to the Pollen. So it grew tiny wings for it to hover out and above the petals, to this day they are still in evolution, hence why its all disproportionate (sp?) and all that. In 36,751 years time the wings will be at the correct size and mass to make it fly more accuratley and this enables them to migrate to other warmer lands when flowers die for the winter.

So the bumblebee has not yet fully evolved ? Fascinating.

You've got to admire it though. When it was just a beetle it was crap at getting the pollen, so it just "grows" some wings, and bobs yer knob, its sorted and can suck that pollen to its stripey, furry hearts content.

Thats cool. I wish I could evolve. I'd grow a protruding eye on a six foot retractable stalk out of the middle of my forehead, so I could sneakily look round corners, into 2nd floor windows, and up womens skirts.
