MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Title says it all. Some researchers wanted to test the stride reaction time of an insect to find out just how stable having six legs in tripodal alternation really is. So they strapped some jet packs to roaches and fired them off in front of a high speed camera, and the roaches barely broke stride.

Also, another jetroach video.

My eyes bugged out a little bit and then I emitted an amazed chuckle.
