As I understand the process is this...

Eat roots for 17 years
Come up, climb up tree
Shed shell, grow wings
Fly around crashing into stuff
Land on tree and screen, "HEY BABY COME AND GET IT" as loud as you can
Actually mate with a lady that is turned on by "HEY BABY COME AND GET IT"
screaned as loud as you can
Fall out of tree dead, or go fly into more stuff
Lady slits tree, lays eggs, falls out of tree dead
Eggs hatch, eat leaves, crawl down out of tree (kids are always smarter then
their parents when young)
Dig a hole
Wait 17 years

BV.

That is what I thought. I knew they emerged from the ground
because I have perfectly round holes where they emerge ;-)
I eliminated the lathe and rinse because I don't think they
do that :-p
