  • They should make a law for people who post fake video's, they automatically get 10 years in prison without the possibility of an early parole.

  • @Xen1aserman Is gay a necessary word for this situation? I think not.

  • @Xen1aserman

    At least in the oxygen poor atmosphere we have now. Go back a couple of hundred million years ago when the oxygen density was much greater than it is now and it's entirely possible you would have seen bugs that large. Then again you would have been poisoned by the air long before then but still.

  • imagine a swarm of those eating everything! Anyone who eats hoppers is hungry right now.

  • @Xen1aserman bugs have gotten tha large before.  the earth's oxygen content isn't high enough to support bugs with bodies that big

  • ever hear of the weta?

  • @mikeknight4u THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!!

  • @jonnywright1981 That was before men evolved.  This is fake and gay.

  • @Xen1aserman actually your wrong partially, insects used to grow huge in prehistoric times. An exoskeleton can support a large amount of weight depending on the thickness of the exoskeleton. The problem is for insects is that they do not have lungs as we do. They absorb oxygen threw several gill like appendages. we cant see them because they are small. When the earths oxygen was much higher long ago dragonflies could grow up to 3 feet long! And 5 foot long scorpions roamed the earth!Google it!

  • this is how evil mankind is

    we even hunt fictional creatures to extinction
