Oooh Cpn! I have grandkids ages 2 and 6. My daughter and son-in-law have considered having a 'lost kid' chip implanted in my grandkids upper arms. The chip has all the info needed for law enforcement to track where the kid is, if by chance the kid is nabbed.

Watching the news and all the missing kids and teenagers, I'm not totally against the idea these days.

interesting article/experiment to say the least.........how do you shave the hair off the back of a young bee? 

i also think these little chips glued to the backs of bees are going to drive their hygenic sisters bonkers trying to get them off........... :D
