Quote: Cowgirl Jack said: Not to be a nerd (in this thread? hard to believe) but this was one aspect of the original cartoon I never got. A beetle is a totally different type of insect from a bumblebee. Bumblebees are related to wasps and ants. (Um...yeah...my roomamte's dad had a PhD in...insectology or whatever...I learned a lot about bugs. So pardon me for being picky.) And 'bug' is considered slang for cicadias and aphids (maybe crickets? I can't remember). So, why is a 'VW Bug' that big of a deal.
Bumblebee was a reference to his color, I believe.
