And yet she can type the word bee with not too bad a reaction… Odd
Hm, yeah, I mean, when you’re typing out “bee” you’re actually touching “bee”. Touching its individual bits, but if you add it up, it’s still a bee… If the three letters are spaced far apart, can you touch them one after the other?
This is probably a strange request, but if I don’t ask I’ll always wonder what the answer would have been.
If you put your finger on your monitor on a blank space next to your cursor and type out the word “Bee,” does it suddenly become fuzzy once you’ve hit “E” twice? If you then hit another letter to make it a different word, does it go away?
It didn’t get icky until some !@#$% posted a graphic of a spider.
Don’t get me started on spiders and other assorted arachnids. I’ve too many guns and too much ammo to go there. Again.
:eek:
Exactly!
Did you do what I did; use your wheel mouse to scroll back up real quick so it’s like squishing it? 
Can you touch
Honeybee
or
Bumblebee
?
How about
spelling bee
or
quilting bee
?
Can you manage touching BEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!! ?
Hmph, I’m affraid to tell you you are either buzzing mad, or a bumbling fool.
Maybe this explains it?
Anybody hear from Francesca since my post? I’m starting to worry that I broke her.
How do you scare a bee?
Boo Bee!
I once petted some bees. They were fuzzy.
To this day I don’t understand why they didn’t sting me.
(23, never been stung, go figure)
How about:
Bee
ooooh I imagine it’s a most pleasant fuzz!
How many bees do you think it would take to produce a sweater? or afghan?
Well, this guy has a good start on a hoodie. 
Francesca - DON’T CLICK!
Can you touch…
Paul Bee-linni?
runs away
I was having so much fun reading this that I invited Michaela to read it with me. She enjoyed it at first, but about halfway down the first page, she decided I was sort of “eavesdropping.”
So now I have to stop.
Carry on.
Francesca, After 3-4 years of lurking your post brought me out…I sympathize about bees but I would rather eat bees than see a POTATO BUG. Evil Satan spawn they are! Late at night I hear them, crawling through plastic bags…getting ready to lay eggs in my legs. Are there any other insects that bother you or is it just bees? Do fuzzy things bother you? What about things that BZZZZ and fly? What about <bold> B </b> meant to designate bees?
PS I’ve been reading all you people’s posts so long that I kinda feel like a stalker…
can’t pay for Straight Dope but I can hand out Gmail invites to all who want, just email.
Cyril Connelly?
Cyril Connelly?
Well, that’s what I get for not reading page 2. Beaten by a good 2 hours.

Ponder… congratulations! I was pondering (hrm… :dubious: ) how to phrase a reply on those lines.
