Long ago someone supposedly did a similar experiment with crickets: the insects would always hop in response to a certain sound, unless their legs were amputated … thus supposedly proving that crickets hear with their legs. I never believed that story for an instant — though apparently it is true that crickets’ ears are in their front legs.

I know that they are evil scientists, but I object to vivisection in any medium. Just saying.

I like how they recycled the eyes container. Very eco-friendly.

Next step, do ants go deaf if you remove their legs? Inquiring minds want to know…

Sir Dudley’s conclusion, though quirky, is logical.
Also, it teaches us that logic is not always the pathway to Truth….
