If you are a science geek like me or just a gearhead like all of us .....this is cooler than glow-in-the-dark dog crap....(btw , a project i am working on..)
just published today in Science Magazine: First example of true toothed gears used for synchronous propulsion of insects. This gearing allows both legs to "pop" synchronously, hence propelling organism in a straight line.
gears are toothed and cocked also.
now do they come with, or have they evolved an LSD!! Lets ask Matt Monson!!!
amazing ... ..a great example of what evolutionary scientists call "Biomechanical Mimicry" I wonder if the "Intelligent design" folks will jump all over this!!
enjoy frank
