    They don't eat honey either. Apparently, commercially produced honey involves removing the male bee's sting to make him ejaculate.
    What?

    Source please.

      Bloody and heretic, just the way I like it (bearnaise and chips as well please)

      As for vegetarian food, I do cook a lot of food that so happens not to have meat or fish.

      It's when I'm confronted with a whinging, hemp wearing, guardian reader who bangs on about how evil meat eaters are, that's when I have a problem.

        Alan Clark was a veggie. Not all veggies fit the stereotype.
        Take me for instance, can't be many veggie trainspotters out there!

          Source was vegan mate when we were all very pissed.

          However, have found this which implies something similar happens in nature, so perhaps the objection is exploitation.

            My wife's a veggie, no meat passes her lips.
            Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              So, he was talking bollocks. A bee that can ejaculate cannot have a sting.

                  1) I was making the distinction between fish and underwater bugs - known as seafood
                  2) **** off and die, that was a Pogle original thought, if Mr Fry has made the same comment then that's great - however I made that one up this morning... I can be quite amusing you know.....

                  I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
