Can wasps get brain damage? Do they have a big enough brain? - Page 2

**Dumbassgo** · February 20th, 2011, 02:37 AM

Anything with a brain can suffer brain damage by definition. It's got a brain so it can be damaged.

But some wasps have the capability of brain control as can be seen in this article http://anonym.to/?http://boingboing....ms-roachb.html

All hail our wasp overlords

Cheers,

Yes,When I was a kid people used to say of wasps "Don't annoy it and it'll go away" but I was once stung on the head without provocation in Tescos.

It was a mechasnical spy wasp from the NSA. Next time it will be a black helicopter. Do not try to swat this.

This thread revives some child memories. There was a wasp nest near my parents house. My father used to warn me every time not to play around there while he gets the appropriate tool to kill them. Of course, I wasn't listening and, long story short, got stung by a big fat monster wasp. It hit my hand that turned pale within seconds. Soon after that, my father poisoned them with a spray and we thought they were gone but like 2 months later, they were back. I took the arch my father made for me and began hitting the place where their nest was (I guess I was seeking revenge) until two wasps flew out and stung me again.

Fuck those beasts.

Are we talking White Anglo Saxon Perverts?

European wasps were a problem here. I myself was stung twice by the same beast twice while driving.

I understand they hibernate longer than bees do, so the bees had some revenge ... probably gave their lives, the poor little buzzers

Btw, I confused them with hornets. I was stung by hornets but wasp stings are not strange to me either.

My missus has a "gigantic big arse" for a target and what does the stupid buzzin idiot do? ...
