As if driving on I-95 wasn’t painful enough, police are warning people about possible “transient bee swarms” in the area.

A truck carrying literally millions of bees overturned near Newark, Delaware. The drivers of the truck were taken to the hospital for injuries that are reportedly not life threatening.

“Combing?” We see what you did there.

This Has Got To Be One Of The Worst Ways To Die — Poor Spider

Making mistakes is a part of life for people and animals alike, but some flubs have much deadlier consequences than others.

Take the fishing spider, for example. Instead of catching prey in a web, it usually sits right at the edge of a body of water, then attacks when it detects ripples from movement. While it is mostly seen as a predator, it can become the victim of an attack if it picks the wrong spot, like this unfortunate creature.

When this spider walked onto the top of a Washington beekeeper’s hive to presumably stalk its prey, it likely realized that making a sudden movement was the worst thing it could have possibly done.

What a horrible way to die.

When it comes to protecting their queen, bees don’t mess around. Sorry, spider, but you were really asking for it by invading their colony.

32 Times “Arrested Development” Was The Cleverest Program On Television

Nothing will ever effectively hide Arrested Development’s thunder.

1. “Arrested Development” was sued by the rap group “Arrested Development” for copyright infringement. They then made several pointed references to this throughout the show.

FOX

Such as here, when Buster and Lucille competed in the Motherboy Competition and the narrator quipped about copyright infringement. (You’ll also notice that “Motherboy” is comprised of several cast members from the show.)

Also, in season 1, episode 11, a newspaper that flashes up on screen includes an article titled “Musician sues restaurant over use of name”.

2. When they included the most meta product placement ever.

FOX

FOX

 

Carl and Tobias meet to discuss Tobias’ upcoming role in Scandalmakers in a Burger King, they then have this conversation:

Carl Weathers: Thanks for meeting me down here at Burger King. I’m trying to get them to underwrite a new TV project I’m working on. Get some money in exchange for setting a scene here at Burger King.

Tobias: Well, as long as you don’t draw attention to it.

The producers of the show actually received money for this product placement from Burger King, although the show undermined the restaurant chain by partially concealing the G in Angus Burger every time a poster for it was in shot.

3. References are made throughout to previous roles actors in the show have had.

FOX

ABC

 

This depicts Henry Winkler jumping over a shark. The phrase “jumping the shark” comes from when Winkler, as Fonzie in Happy Days, literally waterskis over a shark and refers to when a show is about to decline substantially in quality, as signposted by one ridiculous scene.

To add further insult to injury, this happens as Barry Zuckerkorn is on his way to Burger King.

4. It also gave birth to this glorious moment.

giphy.com / Fox / ABC

5. Similarly, when George Bluth mistook Saddam Hussein for the “Soup Nazi” he wasn’t entirely wrong.

Fox

Fox

 

The Saddam Hussein impersonator in the blue shirt is actually Larry Thomas, the man who played the “Soup Nazi” in Seinfeld.

Castle Rock Entertainment

6. When George Michael Bluth’s shirt exactly matched the candies he was eating.

FOX

7. When Maeby is maybe George Michael’s cousin.

FOX

FOX

 

8. Whenever Gob approaches someone on his Segway, he always segues the conversation to what he wants to talk about.

FOX

9. In season 1, Buster pulls out folders of all the studies he’s participated in.

FOX

One says “HEMISPHERECTOMY SURGERY” which is surgery that removes half of your brain. Common side effects of this include “arrested development” and loss of extremities such as feet and hands.

10. Lindsay is unable to finish Michael’s sentences..

FOX

…but Nellie can.

FOX

This is a reference to the fact that Lindsay might not be Michael’s biological sister. Nellie is able to finish Michael’s sentence because she is acted by Jason Bateman’s real life sister, Justine Bateman.

(Bonus: The scene between Lindsay and Michael even makes it into a song from Frozen.)

11. The vehicles with which the authorities spy on the Bluths all have the inconspicuous brand of “Blendin”.

Fox

12. When they foreshadow Buster getting his hand bitten off by a seal to an almost ridiculous extent.

FOX

FOX

FOX

 

In season one, Gob marries a seal trainer (acted by Amy Poehler).

Buster skips out on Army to play a claw game where he wins a stuffed seal.

In the episode Buster loses his hand, George Bluth says about him, “What if I never get a chance to reach out and touch that hand of his again?”

Buster refers to his hand-shaped chair which had been given to Lupe and says, “I never thought I’d miss a hand so much.”

Later, as Gob releases the infamous seal into the sea, he says “You’re not going to be hand-fed anymore.”

Shortly before his hand is bitten off, a pedestrian warns Buster of a “loose seal” – creating a parallel between the seal that bites off his hand, and Lucille, his overbearing mother.

13. When they foreshadow Buster getting his hand bitten off to an almost ridiculous extent.

FOX

Buster skips out on Army to play a claw game where he wins a stuffed seal.

Buster refers to his hand-shaped chair which had been given to Lupe:

Picasa

In the episode Buster loses his hand, George Bluth says about him, “What if I never get a chance to reach out and touch that hand of his again?”

Even the seal has a backstory: Gob married a seal trainer, when she leaves for army, he begins to use a seal in one of his acts. However, the seal gets a taste for mammal blood when a cat is trapped in one of the boxes with it. Afraid, Gob then releases the seal into the sea, saying: “You’re not going to be hand-fed anymore.””

He also sits on this bench creating the message “Arm Off”.

FOX

14. The episode after Buster loses his hand, there’s a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man who is also missing a hand.

FOX

15. When the banana stand is pulled from the water in S02 E11, you can see it says “Get u Bluth – Hello.”

FOX

This foreshadows the revelation at the end of season 3 when Annyong reveals his real name is “Hel-loh” and that he has been trying to bring down the Bluth company after they stole the idea for the banana stand from his grandfather.

“Hel-loh” also translates to “One Day” so the words on the banana stand can be read as saying, “I’ll get you Bluth – One day.”

16. Dan Castellanata acts Dr. Stein.

FOX

 

He is most famous for being the voice of Homer Simpson, and he repeats his famous line here. His first name is also Frank, making him Dr. Frank Stein – which is a nod towards his fondness of reattaching body parts in different places, as he does with Gob’s middle and index finger.

17. In “The Ocean Walker” Buster dances inside his car to “Mr. Roboto” – a reference to a commercial the actor did in 1999.

18. Tobias calls Hollywood shows incredibly detailed, while opening a cupboard in their own set which only has a Starbucks cup inside.

19. When Bob Loblaw warns against listening devices, and the boom mic creeps into shot.

FOX

20. When Gob apparently starts calling George Michael Sr. “Bear” in reference to his Bee business, it turns out he’s been called Bear before.

21. There’s a running joke where Lupe wears jumpers that are two holidays behind.

FOX

FOX

FOX

 

She wears a Halloween jumper during a Christmas party, and a Thanksgiving jumper on Valentines day. This joke is continued when Tobias becomes Mrs. Featherbottom, and he wears an old Bush/Cheney jumper.

22. When Tobias dresses as The Thing (sorry, “Rock Monster”), it too is a Never Nude.

FOX

FOX

 

23. When Tobias pulled a George-Michael.

FOX

24. When two different actresses played Bland because she’s just that forgettable.

FOX

FOX

 

25. When the episode “Immaculate Election” was created to mirror the 2004 Presidential race.

FOX

FOX

 

George Michael represented John Kerry, Steve Holt was George W. Bush, and Rav Nadir was Ralph Nader.

26. When it turns out Michael really took his father’s lessons to heart.

Picasa

27. When the Bluth’s boat is called the Seaward, but Lucille mishears.

FOX

28. Every grammatically incorrect banner throughout the series.

No one really knows why, but you have to admire the consistency.

FOX

FOX

 

29. When both Gob and George Michael lose the “P” from their possessions.

FOX

Gob’s “President” becomes “Resident”, George Michael’s top becomes “U.S.S. Enter rise”.

30. When they themed an entire episode “Good Grief” around Charlie Brown.

Fox

31. When they refused to go down without a fight.

FOX

Arrested Development was constantly under threat of being cancelled and numerous references are made to this throughout the show.

In the premiere for season 2, Michael mentions that the Bluth’s model home contract had been reduced from 22 to 18 homes – a direct reference to how the season’s length had been reduced similarly.

The most obvious come during the episode S.O.B.s, s3e09: Michael says “The HBO’s (Home Builder’s Organisation) not going to want us” referencing that the network HBO doesn’t pick up shows that have been cancelled by another network.

George Bluth then quips, “Well I think it’s Showtime” – a reference to another network that was rumoured to be willing to take Arrested Development on.

32. And when Tobias was an albino black man.

FOX

FOX

 

This was a joke that had to be cut due to ever-shortening seasons. However, hints towards it are seen when he draws parallels between himself and private detective-cum-party-caterer Ice.

It’s overtly linked to in this scene from “Afternoon Delight”.

FOX

And Tobias’ book cover works on even more levels once you recognise that.

FOX

Arrested Development FOREVER!

What This Family Found Located In Their Free Bedroom Provides You With Nightmares.

a boy visiting his mama the 2009 summertime obtained the shock of a very long time. When he went into an unused guest bed room, he found a giant, 3-foot wasp nest regarding the sleep.

The caretaker was not when you look at the space for all months, and anyone who was last-in the area left the window open. That evidently made an inviting target for huge number of wasps.

This is actually the nest. If the exterminator arrived, he estimated there have been at least 5,000 wasps when you look at the nest, alongside 700 queen wasps. He stated it was the greatest wasp nest he would ever before seen.

Following the initial shock wore down, the exterminator suited up, and reached work.

It absolutely was a tough fight, nevertheless they managed to get eliminate all the wasps. He even spared the blanket the nest ended up being built on.

Via: The Guardian

It is a living nightmare. Wasps tend to be last insect on Earth that I would need cohabit with. Yuck! I am hoping they setup new windows following this event.
