> This name is a derivative of “Vanessa Cherryblossom”, the name given to a cockroach I had on a previous project. Unfortunately, I had to put Vanessa “to sleep” when I was travelling across the border from Canada into the United States: I was at risk of violating the Department of Homeland Security’s biological regulations. Hahahaa good read :tup: ---

This was a light contrivance made of splinters forming a windmill, with a spindle and pulley attached to live June bugs. When the glued insects beat their wings, as they did desperately, the bug-power engine prepared to take off. This line of research was forever abandoned however when a young friend dropped by who fancied the taste of June bugs.
