Nature vs. Human inventions...
« on: March 18, 2007, 04:15:30 PM »
Watched a special on Raptors and how they can help design fighter planes. A Perigrine Falcon can pull 25 G's during it's stoop. I Believe a F-22 Raptor pilot said the most is probably 10 (i'm not sure). They are working on wings that have a flexible inside so as mock a raptor's closed wings during a dive.

Snake venom, depending on the venom, if there is no antivenom you will die (Black and Green Mamba, Tiger Snake, Taipan, Bushmaster, Fer-de-Lance, and various seasnakes) . But if you get shot from a gun, depending where you get hit, you could survive. So, If you bit by a Fer-de-Lance, you will die, if you get shot in the arm chances are you live.

When you look at it, man, and his death invetions aren't jack compared to what nature has taking millions of years to come up with.
Agree or disagree?

Agree!

Technically speaking, WE ARE a part of nature and so are the things we create. Nature can take credit for nukes and f-22.  8)
