Story from Nigeria

I've got friends or acquaintances in many parts of the world... One of the things I like best about my life is being part of a net like that. In a public place like this I don't feel at liberty to pass along very much of what they are doing or saying, but here's a story you might find interesting.

As you're probably aware, Nigeria is kind of a tense place these days. This story from R & S really illustrates just how tense:
"We returned to Jos yesterday as things have remained calm in the city since last Friday. [Yet] a small disturbance for any reason causes people to panic. For instance, there was some trouble downtown today with people running and a lot of rumors of renewed trouble."

"Well, the story we heard was that some people were attacked by bees and started to run and holler... This caused general panic that spread throughout the city through mobile phones. Even people out in the village over 10 miles away were running for cover."
Bees??
