Still Waters Posted January 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2018 New species can be named for all types of attributes, but Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County entomologist Brian Brown knew exactly what name to give a bizarre new fly species he discovered in the Brazilian Amazon. "As soon as I saw those bulging legs, I knew I had to name this one after Arnold," says Brown. "Not only is he a major cultural icon and an important person in the political realm, his autobiography gave me some hope that I could improve my body as a skinny teenager." For these reasons, Brown says, the former governor deserves to have the new fly named in his honor. https://phys.org/news/2018-01-big-armed-species-arnold-schwarzenegger.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockornothing Posted January 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Was thinking a fly mated with it's maid (legal immigration status unknown), and had offspring which led to a fly divorce and was then discovered in a fly divorce court. Guess I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this will inspire him to do a remake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostrodumbass Posted January 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Imagine when you try and swat it, it grabs your arm, throws you to the ground and buzzes off yelling over it's shoulder: "I'll be backzzz!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
