*Fuck me... I have no idea where my brain dredged that factoid up from!


It was probably on Q.I. or some other achingly pedantic BBC edugramme.

I imagine it's only because QI's spin-off podcast No Such Thing as a Fish, gave Shark an existential crisis
You may quote me on that.

Who's going to play the big dogman with the blue stripes?

EDIT: What am I saying? There's only one choice - the clue is in thy name.

I didn't sink, therefore I swam.

As I recall its both the exoskeleton and their respiritory system (tubes that would need to be too big to function... oh I can't remember) but that is over come by their sheer coolness as I said...

Spiracles! Chitinous insects breathe through spiracles.* There's a functional limit to how big an insect can be and oxygenate its body that way — if you need spiracles the size of manholes then, obviously, there are distinct disadvantages to having numerous permanently open holes in your otherwise-quite-resilient exoskeleton, for a start.

Heh. Interesting!  I remember that film with giant cockroaches that mimic* humans in the New York** underground. [spoiler]The scientists did an autopsy of one of the bugs only to find they'd evolved lungs. They had also evolved exoskeletons on their heads that looked like human faces from a distance. [/spoiler]   Kinda silly, but the stuff of nightmares at the same time. Kudos to them for considering the science.... stretch though it was.


* I had forgotten the name of the film but then it suddenly presented itself while typing that sentence . Mimic.

**I think it was NY. It might have been another large American city with a large underground network

Will gammons boycott the film because there's a pronoun in the title?

Look, I'm only against pronouns because I think all nouns deserve to be paid.
You may quote me on that.
