(WJBF) – Around here, we know not to mess with wasps. But a nearby nest really got messed with.
“Sounds bad. I want to find a way to kill it,” said a guy who heard the news.
Even the BBC is reporting on it: a wasp nest discovered at the Savannah River Site, but it’s no ordinary wasp nest.
“I thought it was kind of strange they would find a nest of radioactive wasps,” said Kenric Holman.
“So obviously, this ended up being a bigger story than I thought,” said Erica Seemann.
And bigger could be the key word here, because in 1950’s sci-fi movies, insects and radioactivity don’t mix. Talk about large and in charge.
“What’s going to happen if you find a nest of radioactive wasps?”
“They’re going to grow and go out and kill everybody,” said Kenric.
“It becomes a mutant and generally turns into something deadly,” said Erica.
“They sting people and try to kill us all,” said Dennis Atkins.
“They grow to the size of a battleship.”
“Yes, they do,” he said.
“You know for a fact they’re going to grow to super-size?” Erica asked.
“I don’t know for a fact, I’m just worried.”
“I mean I don’t know, I hope that they don’t,” she said.
Yes, we all hope we don’t have a 50’s sci-fi thing going down around here, but if we do we got some possible names for the movie.
‘They Came from Savannah River Site.’ Or, ‘SRS: the Super-Sized Radioactive Stingers’.
“That would be good, too,” said Kenric.
