Scientists to release swarms of bees on your cancer

Apparently scientists have engineered bees to "sting cancer to death"

To be fair, these aren't actual bees, but a brilliant - albeit terrifying - leap in nanotechnology. These nanobees are actually armed with a cancer-killing chemical extracted from actual bee venom.

Science has done it again. They've taken a very noble concept - in this case, treating cancer - and have gone about it in the most blood-curdling insane way possible. Even the term "nanobees" seems designed to strike fear into the heart of humanity. I can only surmise that mad scientists have taken over the study of nanotechnology.

This all reminds me of the fully realized version of the scientists interviewed on the History Channel's series The Universe. Just watching one episode you can see in all of their eyes the twinkle that says that if they had the resources, they'd immediately make the leap from theoretical astrophysics to super villainous mad science.

Lump this all together with CERN and their black hole machine, and the most obvious conclusion to make is this: all scientists strive to be James Bond villains.
