"The business of finding a mate and reproducing is the sole purpose of the cicadas' short existence above the ground. It begins with the males flying to a sunny tree and, with thousands of their buddies, beating out a tune on their undersides. "

I was just doing a little cicada research to see how long they would be around and I came across this quote. The part about thousands of buddies beating out a tune on their undersides to attempt to attract women reminded me of the theatre guys for some reason. I think that's the reason many guys take up the guitar.

oops! Too much science! Gotta go!
