You may recall the 1950's horror flick "The Giant Mantis," in which a
747-sized praying mantis terrorized the world.  In the end, of course,
the mantis met its end, but you've probably never heard what happened
afterward.

The city authorities wanted to chop the gigantic corpse up and make it
into fertilizer.  However, some entomologists wanted to study the
thing.  One entomologist went so far as to fling down his body in front
of the mulcher.  He was arrested for creating a nuisance, but at the
trial he was found not guilty by reason of insanity... 

Non Compost Mantis.

Don't say you weren't warned.
