“It’s such a pain!” One upset worker commented. “I’ll plan to go have a whiz at 3pm, and then we’re told there’s been another leak. It’s always right before I’m about to go! Just once I’d like things to go according to the planned schedule, y’know?”
We understand, unnamed Cartoon Network employee. We understand.

Millions of bees are dying off, with alarming consequences for our environment and our food supply. We rely on bees to pollinate everything from almonds to strawberries to the alfalfa used to feed dairy cows. What happens if the bees disappear? It’s simple: No bees, no food. Believe it or not, you have a bee to thank for every one in three bites of food you eat.
Scientists know that bees are dying from a variety of factors—pesticides, drought, habitat destruction, nutrition deficit, air pollution, global warming and more. Many of these causes are interrelated. The bottom line is that we know humans are largely responsible for the two most prominent causes: pesticides and habitat loss. (Source & Source)
