The top 100 list of outrageous things causing CCD

[MrILoveTheAnts]

I've herd everything from, diseases to cell phones causing CCD. And every news article I've read seems to reference to some scientist (usually from Europe) who did something to some bees and then CCD occurred.

So I've decided to start a list of 100 outrageous things that could also cause CCD. It's not complete so feel free to add.

1) The launch of Windows Vista.

2) 7 years of George Bush in office.

3) Bees searching for Non-smoking section of the world.

4) Sanjaya's singing voice on American Idol.

5) The death of Anna Nicole Smith.

11) Canadian Super Villeins join forces and have unleashed their "Bee Magnet" upon the world. Soon they will destroy us all.

12) Bees cash in their frequent flier miles and vacation in the Bahamas.

13) Dog Chromosomes manage their way into the Honey Bee Genome. Workers cannot stop flying in circles, while trying to catch their stinger.

14) activist judges

15) Aliens from Mars

16) Viagria

26) All Bees abscouned to Jerrymac's fortified Bunker after the arrival of the 6000 gallon tanker of queen pheromone.

27) Kathyp's logical and wellspoken Conservative thinking changed these Social Creatures to Capitolists, they now reside in the lower-levels of Wall Street waiting to buy all pollinated fruit and veggie stocks BEFORE the inevitable market climb occurs.

28) Buzzbeejr found 1 billion miniture Axis Power uniforms, supplying all the bees he could with them. After finding out his effort to make a fair game of Enemy Territory had gone all wrong, he turned his weapons on his team mates in a futile game of Civil War.

29) A distant planet from Earth needed honeybees in order to pollinate their crops after the buzzerpooh insect went extinct due to the dreaded cyclical Global Cooling - they sent their entire fleet of motherships to Earth and transmitted their massive pheromone waves, all workerbee (and those lazy drones) flew up to the low hovering ships and within minutes the air-craft was well on its way back to its own Galaxy.
