dung beetles

How on earth, with such a diverse collection of minds as are found here, have we missed discussing the dung beetle -- little fellas that really know how to have a ball!

Kudos to Camp Lazlo for including them in its animated line-up.

I bet they canèt roll the dung as fast as me (not that I've rolled any dungs in my life, I only meant theoretically speaking.)

Katamari is a Japanese video game where you well... roll stuff up into a ball. And thats pretty much all there is to it :P :D

Perfectly fitting the dung beetle credo methinks.
