Er, are you sure!? As for Sharp, he's got to get into the team first! But I hope he scores a hatful as that means we'll be winning games
Yeah, and of course, they obviously got it wrong. It's just that, at the time, according to the known knowledge of bees, they really shouldn't have been able to fly. Then, several years later, scientists discovered how the bee manages to overcome its personal problem with gravity, and science joined the real world again. Don't believe me..? Google it. I think I first read it in a science journal somewhen around the 1980s. The correction came in the 1990s. I suffered from being the butt of a few weeks of jokes in my local pub in Kent when I came out with that one, back in the late 1990s. Then one day someone else came into tthe pub and said, bloody hell, Andy's right..! Scientists did think bees shouldn't be able to fly. The landlady gave me a free pint for putting up with all the brickbats, with a smile.
Yeah I know it was a relatively recent discovery but I'm not sure it's quite accurate to say they 'proved' bees shouldn't fly. They just couldn't explain it. But we're digressing!
Sadly, I can't tell you that I remember the article, in the scientific journal, clearly enough as if it was yesterday. I do remember that it was Nature, which is about as authoritative as it gets. That's about it though. You're right, we are digressing. Next time Saints play Brentford we can find the excuse to pick up the subject again.
