GuruageI used to run a guru service, but unfortunately I haven't got around to replying to any of my questions for months. I was thinking maybe it would make a good b3ta activity. Would people be interested in that?
Sample random recent question: How are cranes put up? Through researching the annals of mythology I think we can dismiss the theory of an original single giant crane that puts up subsequent modern cranes.
Do people want to play the guru game? or is no-one interested? If you guys want to play then I'll have a word with Rob and see if we can make it part of the b3ta experience. Umm, otherwise I won't. Any thoughts/opinions?

i want to, but I'm not sure if I countDo they mean how are crane flies put up into neon strip lights where they lie dead and kinda dried? I have often wondered that myself.
Damn. Actually, maybe i would be no good at this.

Hi PepHow are you? Have you had a nice weekend? I just got back from a lovely weekend in oxford.
A more suitable answer may be something along the lines of: Crane Flies often have their wings pulled off by small children and are therefore no longer able to fly. This, of course, renders their nomenclature to be "Crane" rather than the specifically airborne "Crane Fly". Archeological evidence shows that around 30 million years ago such an ancestral "Crane" was created which, although being of diminunutive proprotions, was able to pass its inheritance of wingless "Craneitude" on to a generation of offspring. Over aeons, the same evolutionary processes which created the dinosaurs moulded this ancestral "Crane" into the steel behemoths that we see today, towering over our urban landscapes like the brontosauri of the new millenium.
Does that help?

Actuallythis is an important question. I have been studying cranes for quite a while now for an upcoming David Attenborough series and I can reveal as a B3TA exclusive that cranes have a complicated life cycle. There are three main stages, a small insectlike man-eating larval stage, a medium-sized birdlike stage for dispersal and a large more or less sessile creature. The largest lifestage doesn't appear to eat but appears to generate the neccesary food supplies for the larval stage.
This lifecycle is mapped out below:
