Except smaller.  And also bees aren't as good at making silkscreen stencils
or bonding your capped teeth.  Maybe someday they will be.  The T-shirt and
dentistry industries would be a lot wackier.

You're welcome.  Remember only to use it for good, never for evil,
unless money is involved.

Does anyone else want any super powers as long as I'm writing this?

The power to reverse Swiss cheese so that it's a bunch of little spheres
floating in space?  The power to make people realize Oliver Sacks can't
write all that well?  The power to insert commercials into refrigerators?
The power to bend bowling balls?  The power to make money involved?

                                            Speaking of song lyrics with
                                            lots of vowels, when Sinatra
                                            et al sang "ee-oh-eleven"
                                            in "Ocean's 11" and SCTV
                                            parodied it with Sammy Maudlin
                                            singing "em-oh-eleven", the
                                            people writing the closed
                                            captions thought he was
                                            singing "am away eleven",
                                            which would be good if they
                                            were robbing Amway dealers
                                            instead of casinos.
