Well somehow I managed to sit on a wasp and got stung on the arse so don't talk about fairness!

Ouch. They mainly get me on the arms and legs. However, one time I did get stung by a jellyfish in a very sensitive area.
 
I feel I'm missing out having not been stung by anything. I did once get attacked by dogs on a beach in Kenya though and as a result had 6 injections, 3 in the ass. And injections are sort of like stings...so yeah.
 
I ate a wasp which had got into my jam sandwich when I was 3. My parents had taken me to watch a village cricket match, and apparently I made so much noise they had to stop the match. I've hated wasps (and loved cricket) ever since.
 
I've been stung a few times, not sure on specifics because it was mostly when younger, so less careful/scared. Only by bees and wasps (and stinging nettles obv) so nothing jellyfish bad! Worst one I remember is stepping on a bee by a swimming pool :(
 
I bloody hate jellyfish. Although all they do is float around they creep me out. Their sting bloody hurts as well!

Jellyfish vary quite a lot. The one that stung my man parts was off a beach in Wales, so it was probably one of the less nasty ones.
 
Can't believe that nowadays this is still seen as such a big deal, but there we go. Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires becomes Pope Francis I. He sounds like a cool guy, I guess.
 
I got a sheep tick in my ball bag when I was 12 and at a scout camp (and no, I wasn`t interfering with a sheep) - my father bless him removed it when I got home a few days later - its legs were still moving. Gross.
And our holy goaly for Pope please.
 
It is funny how fearful people have become of creatures big and small when they can clearly do less damage than ourselves. Perhaps we are out of touch with nature these days?

The single greatest cause of death in humans is the mosquito. Those guys can burn in hell.
 
Apparently wasps feed aphids to their young, thus keeping the numbers down. Then the young secrete a sweet liquid that sustains the adults. Once the young lave the nest, the adults become a nuisance as they pursue our food, especially fruit and sweet things. Still don't like the stripey beasts.
