Did you know that....
In the 1880s students of Oxford university abbreviated words by adding "er" to the end; for instance, breakfast became "brekkers" and "rugby rules" was referred to as "rugger." When one student, Charles Wreford Brown, was asked if he'd like to play rugger, he was the first to abbreviate "association rules" (Football Association rules) by answering, "No, soccer." Brown later bacame an England international and Football Association vice-president.

You have to really whack at a European bee hive to get the bees to swarm and attack you, but all you have to do is breathe on an Africanized (killer) bee hive. If you are attacked by a swarm, run like hell. They will eventually tire of chasing you and fly back home.
