Wasps are amazing creatures. well over 100,000 species of them are parasites. Here's another complex insect parasite video involving caterpillars that stowaway in ants nests and the wasps that lay eggs in them, from Attenborough's Life in the Undergrowth BBC series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCo2uCLXvhk

Also other species hijack acorns growth to lay offspring within, and are then in turn preyed upon by other wasps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzXccvoJThI&NR=1

"The psychologist Dr Aric Sigman says that social networking sites undermine social skills and the ability to read body language. Actual physical contact benefits our wellbeing by boosting levels of the hormone oxytocin. In fact, being lonely is as bad for your health as smoking."

Aric Sigman has a previously spoken on the matter and has had most of his points debunked already, see Ben Goldacre's post here:

I believe the play being referred to here was called "Behzti - Dishonour" and was due to play in Birmingham (UK) in 2004 before protesters stoped it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2004/dec/21/religion.arts

Birmingham is home to a very large Sikh community, and as a religious group in the UK they tend to have integrated and adapted to British life pretty well. The events surrounding this play was seen as being very unusual (at least from the perspective of the middle class English)

Interestingly the writer herself is a Sikh, and is currently touring with a play based around the incident. http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2010/mar/15/gurpreet-kaur-bh...
