Ummm, I call outsides, you can check his insides. {8^D
By the way, after I started posting that wasp-cam stuff, I learned
that Damien Broderick had already incorporated the idea into a novel,
which will go on sale soon. I claim independent discovery, but he
had the notion first. {8-]
We joke around about this a lot, but consider some of Mikes
objections. If we develop really cool wasp cams, etc, it really
will be only a matter of time before they come into our bedrooms
thru the AC vents, etc. All privacy *really will* be lost, and it
isnt at all clear to me how one would defend against it without
spending buttloads of money, an option closed to the poor. spike
