The Acid softens the covering....the Akaline fizzes the interior structure. Mr. Bean finally gives in and lets go...but, if i can ....i pull the bean out with tweezers for a prize(rather than fizz it)... and look inside it for anatomy. I have stared at the anatomy in all its contractions and releases of growth....and must still wait patiently for my mind to do some expanding until i can understand. I have not found any that can fly away....yet. Keep up the great work, we will get this critter cornered, backed up to a brick wall and then.......SQUISH! Yeah!

YEAH MAN, SQUISH!!!!!
