There is often a very fine line between performing a valuable service to your fellow human beings and just having too much time on your hands. Combine this with a good sense of humor and a bit of masochism, and you have The Schmidt Sting Pain Index. Thanks to Mr. Schmit, we know that a sting from a pepsis wasp is a full 4.0 on the scale; "Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath (if you get stung by one you might as well lie down and scream)." Check it out here.
This makes me think twice about screwing around with Africanized bees.
