Fun Facts:  The penis-looking tip of SD is right across the River from Sioux City, and Lewis & Clark were so impressed with the herds of elk they saw that they named it Elk Point. There is a town there that took that as its name.

There is also a bar and restaurant in Sioux City called The Diving Elk that is pretty damn good.

If there is anything in SUX that qualifies as “pretty damn good,” it’s news to me.  Shithole.

it's just bug-temperature acid, right?  the 'smoke' is just from acid doing acid things.

That happens when the beetles are threatened — when they’ve been swallowed by a frog, for example. Valves open and the chemicals are pushed into a “reaction chamber.” There, they are mixed with enzymes. This heats them to a boiling 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius). It also converts the chemicals into their final, sometimes-deadly product.

Then, “like detonating a bomb,” Attygalle says, the beetles shoot the spray from their backsides. The spray is so pungent and irritating, the frog spits the beetle out.

I need to know the rest of the story.

From the video description: 

Nashville, Tennessee — Metro Police released body-cam and dash-cam footage of a deadly shootout Friday morning involving a Metro officer and a woman. Just after 9:30 a.m., field training officer Josh Baker from the East Precinct, was patrolling in the area of Brick Church Pike near the intersection of Ewing Drive when he spotted a black 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. Officer Baker was aware that the registered owner of the Camaro, convicted felon Demond Buchanan, had six outstanding drug warrants, charging five felonies and one misdemeanor, that were issued last month for possession of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy, Xanax and crack cocaine. Officer Baker radioed to check on the airborne status of a police helicopter, believing that the driver of the Camaro might try to flee. The camaro stopped in the parking lot of the Dollar General store. Officer Baker found that it was being driven not by the wanted drug felon, but by Nika Nicole Holbert. While, Holbert essentially complied with Officer Baker's directives during the first few minutes of their interaction, her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powdery substance in her bag and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers. Officer Baker drew his non-lethal taser in an effort to safely bring Holbert into custody. Officer Baker drew his service pistol when he saw that Holbert had pulled a gun, as he demanded that she put the gun down, Holbert shot Baker. He returned the fire. Officer Baker was shot in the side of his torso, the round went under his bulletproof vest. Holbert tossed her semi-automatic pistol in the parking lot before fleeing in the Camaro. She drove for about a block before running off the road at the intersection of Brick Church Pike. Officers rendered aid for her gunshot wounds until an ambulance arrived. She died later Friday morning at a local hospital. Officer Baker is in stable condition after undergoing surgery.

Allegedly, this video is stretched vertically, causing everything to look bigger. But the original is still pretty intense.

 

Now imagine a bunch of German U-boats trying to take you out in the middle of that. Battle of the Atlantic was brutal.
