Due to popular demand, I have another weekend spoiler.  This was taken
from Thursday's Wall Street Journal, section 2 and I am recalling this
from memory.

	The article is about making beards from bees.  It seems that some
	people like to do that sort of thing. They hang a queen bee from
	a person's chin (in a small cage) and thousands (10k) swarm about
	the queen and make a beard.  Note that the nostrils and ears
	are filled with cotton to prevent bees from flying up them and
	to prevent a contestant from hearing other contestants' screams.
	I forgot to mention that this is done in a contest to create
	the nicest beard, the prize being $100 for the winner.  Judging
	is difficult since beauty is in the eye of the bee holder.
