Are Bot Flies An Alien Species?

The question is, “Are Bot flies an alien species?”

I watched a documentary a few months ago about Bot fly larva and it was an eye opener.

The Bot fly is as big as a bumble bee, but it has a very cunning way of distributing its eggs.

I watched it grab a fly, and after putting its eggs onto it the fly was released to do its dirty deeds.

When the fly landed, the larva attracted by the heat of the host would drop off onto the host and burrow under the skin. The host could be anything warm bodied, animal or human.

After six weeks it became a maggot and would eat its way out dropping to the ground before becoming an adult fly, where the process would repeat itself.

The worse thing was the size of the maggot and the hole left by the Bot fly. I watched as they pulled one out of someone’s head. This time the host was a man and not an animal.

The way the Bot fly and its larva behave tell me that they’re in survival mode.

So, is it possible that Bot flies are an alien species?

If you watch one in action they’re very smart, they use mosquitos and flies as their carriers, and survive by eating animal and human flesh until their emergence, ready to repeat the cycle.

But hey I’m no fly expert, what do you think?

The Most Magnificent Thing

I read the children’s book called, ‘The Most Magnificent Thing,’ last week.

This children’s book was written and beautifully illustrated by Ashley Spires.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a young girl and her dog companion.

One day the young girl decides to make the most magnificent thing.

Assisted by her dog, she soon finds out that making the most magnificent thing is a lot harder than she thought.

After many failed attempts, she begins to gets angry.

However, the anger is soon replaced by a renewed enthusiasm after her trusted dog companion takes her for a walk.

To find out if she succeeds in the end, why not read the book or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book for young children that encourages creativity.

Are Robot Stretchers Reliable?

The question is, “Are robot stretchers reliable?”

In September 2017, we learnt that BAE Systems had designed a robot stretcher that can remove a wounded soldier from the battlefield.

This electric powered vehicle is unmanned, driven remotely by wireless remote control.

Eventually it will be fitted with artificial intelligence, like a GPS I suppose. This will allow the vehicle to navigate the battlefield, surprisingly all on its own.

So, how reliable will these robot stretchers be?

For with any electrical item this too will need charging, but if someone forgets to charge it, that’s going to be a problem.

It’s also a problem if it runs over a landmine and can’t finish its rescue mission, or worse still if this was to happen when its carrying a wounded soldier.

In the future, they plan to fit it with bomb disposal equipment, cameras for missions, or even a machine gun.

So, with regard to all of the above, how can they prevent the programme from being corrupted or worse still, controlled by a different remote handler that gets onto the same frequency?

But hey, I’m no expert, what do you think?

My No No No Day

I read the children’s book called, ‘My No No No Day.’  

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Rebecca Patterson.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a little girl named Bella that’s having a very bad day.

When Bella wakes up and finds her little brother in her room it puts her in a bad mood.

Her poor mum has to cope with Bella’s bad behavior during breakfast, at the supermarket, coming home from school and even when guests come over.

Bella’s bad mood continues up until bedtime, then during a bedtime reading she apologizes to her mum for being bad.

Reflecting back; Bella tried to get her own way, by screaming, shouting or being loud, however, her mum was having none of it, and so by speaking quietly to her child and ignoring her shouting pleas it slightly diffused the situation.

Great parenting skills I say, for at least there was a happy ending.

So, why not read the book or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

Are Alien’s Communicating With Us?

The question is, “Are alien’s communicating with us?”

In August 2017, some strange signals were picked up from a distant galaxy that astronomers labelled FRB 121102.

These short fast radio bursts commonly known as FRBs had first been detected in 2001, and then again in 2015.

However, the experts claim they have no idea of what’s actually causing them.

All they know is that these radio signals are powerful and super-fast and come from a distant corner of the universe.

Currently all the experts can do is keep monitoring them.

So, is it possible that these signals are meant for other aliens?

It could be a galactic welcome or a warning not to land on their world?

For I believe alien technology is so much more advanced than ours, that if they truly wanted to get in touch with us it wouldn’t be through a short radio burst.

But hey, I’m no astronomer, what do you think?

Can Galaxies Collide?

The question is, “Can Galaxies Collide?”

I read an article that stated there was a galaxy called 0402+379, 750 million light years away that has two super-massive black holes.

It’s believed they’re going to merge.

When this happens, it could show the course of what will happen in several billion years from now.

For both our galaxy the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy, both with black holes are also set on a collision course.

So, where will this leave Earth?

Could Earth be destroyed or move into a black hole within another galaxy?

Also, what will happen to the Sun, will it follow?

Who knows, fortunately, I won’t be here in a billion years to find out.

But as our planet is continuously abused by air pollution, chemical spraying, fracking and the destruction to our planet’s surface, will Earth even be here to witness it. 

I fear not.

But hey, I’m no Astronomer, what do you think?

The Singing Mermaid

I read the children’s picture book called, ‘The Singing Mermaid,’ the other day.

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and is beautifully illustrated by Lydia Monk.

It tells the tale of a happy mermaid that loves to sing.

She sings to the fish under the ocean, and to the birds flying high, and to the small creatures that live on the sea shore.

Then one day, Sam Sly’s Circus comes to town. Tempted by fame and fortune the mermaid’s persuaded by Sam to leave Silversands and the deep blue sea, to sing in a pool at the circus instead.

Unfortunately, Sam had lied, and instead of the mermaid living in a pool, he kept her in a fish tank instead.

This is a great book that teaches young children not to be too trusting.

As parents, we all know you never get something for nothing, there’s either a catch or ulterior motive. In Sam Sly’s case it was to make fame and fortune for himself, the greedy fellow.

To find out what happens at the end of the book and to see if the mermaid escapes read the book now or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.
