Random fun facts...

Have you ever heard of, or even seen a "cow ant" or "cow killer" ant? Actually, these are not ants at all, but rather wasps. Female wasps. These are actually called velvet wasps or velvet ants, and the female of the species is flightless and wingless. Only the females have stings, and only the males fly. Look them up for more info, or go to this Wikipedia article for a closer look.

Next up, have you ever wondered how the rotary engine in a Mazda RX-7 or RX-8 works? Go to Howstuffworks.com to find out more, it's a pretty good read!
