Reason 1,203 why the Midwest is scary: The European Giant Hornet.

The European hornet was introduced to North America by colonists from Europe. It is almost twice the size of a regular hornet (about 1 1/2-2 inches), and are a reddish-brown color. Queens lay eggs in the spring and summer, and the new wasps mature by late summer and early fall (in other words, now). They are identified by their loud buzzing, which kind of sounds like a chainsaw cutting through a steel pipe. They are less aggressive than other wasps, but will attack to defend their nest. Where do they like to build their nests? Inside houses. Oh, and they are the only wasp or bee that comes out at night and during the day.

I discovered these existed the other night when I plucked one out of my hair. Thankfully, it was more concerned with flying into the wall than with stinging me all over my face. I’m thinking about getting this prop to teach them a lesson. Fighting giant bees with giant bees!

A selection of some of the more disturbing and outrageous costume decisions people have made.

Parties. Music events. Sports events. Just a few things can be made ‘better’ by not wearing regular attire and instead opting for fancy dress and costumes. Superman and Catwoman are very common ideas people normally run with but who cares about that? We’ve compiled a huge list of the weird, wackiest, and in some cases, scariest fancy dress costumes that people have subjected themselves and others to.

1. Giving Birth… TO YOURSELF!

Bloody, slime, pubic hair and a baby. These are the things that make this costume great, I guarantee that any of those four ingredients would make any costume better.

2. The Twin Towers

Here we have two morons with a touching tribute to 9/11, I say morons because they think that planes bleed and get stuck into the side of buildings.

3. One Happy Vagina

We all entered the world from one, even you. Was the tampon really necessary though? Smiles all round though.

4. Elvis? Klingon? Fire?…WTF!

Whatever it is, it’s weird. Influences from grace land, Star Trek and the element of fire. Oh and a sword, or sabre, made from bling init.

5. Ray Charles

Slightly racist, slightly shiny and slightly disturbing. The costume that has it all to keep the party vibe going.

6. Honestly Couldn’t Tell You What’s Going On

Two people wearing what look like big towels in a bathroom, the blue person is have a dump catching up on the latest headlines whilst the purple thing is watching, perfectly normal?

7. Cute Hitler Baby

This evil little baby wasn’t born dressed as Hitler with a full head of hair and mini Adolf moustache, this little costume really puts the ‘babies’ into ‘Nazis killed Jew babies’.

8. Homer Simpson

Yellow, check. Slobby, check. Fat, check. Stupid, check. Literally, the perfect Homer Simpson costume you’re ever likely to see, not a “D’oh” in sight.

9. “Yes, yes, urgh that’s just unpleasant”

It starts like it should and then BOOM! Some sort of weird mutilated worm penis thing. Let’s just hope that is part of the costume and not a fifth limb.

10. Sexy Poison Ivy

Bow chikka wow wow! This hot red head pulls this costume off but if your look more like a tree trunk than a vine, I’d probably give this number a miss.

11. Oompa Loompa Canine

Another case of serious animal cruelty. Thank the lord that this poor dog’s owner didn’t go full out and paint his little buddy orange.

Source

12. Alien vs. Baby

Don’t worry its not actually real, their is no baby with an alien bursting through its chest. Great acting from the baby who puts in an extremely convincing, albeit understated, performance.

13. Just Another Day At The Church

The costume on the left recreates an activity between a little boy and a priest that is common place through out Catholic churches, remember sharing is caring. Source

14. WHAT’S IN THE BOTTLE!?

Firstly, what is in the bottle that is attached, via tube, to his penóis? Secondly, why is he the only on in “costume”? So many questions.

15. Collie Cross Fast Food

Terrifying and hilarious in equal measure. The dog on the left is actually the local doughnut shop owner and stumbled into this photo only by chance.
