as a biologist, I just happened to know the answer, but these guys are always entertaining.

did anyone see the end of the 'helium raft' episode? I had caught the beginning and had to take off...

That one was great. Unfortunately, it worked a little TOO well and went all wonky when the released the cables. It shot up so fast that they had a hard time getting it even. Then, when he went to get on it, he slid into the middle and they had to cut the whole thing apart.

But they got REALLY high on the helium. I hope you can catch it in a rerun...it was funny.

Those DLL's looked a bit different than ours. We've overrun with them every September or so. I liked this video, but I wanted an idea of how toxic the DLL venom is. Could you milk 100 of them and make a toxic dart?
