GeoPirates2007 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I heard of a travel bug that was collecting dead bugs. I thought it was a novel idea and would like to start one myself. I just was wondering if I can do that, or does each bug need to be an original idea? Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Good ideas are always worth repeating. I just have to wonder what is meant by collecting dead bugs. Quote Link to comment
GeoPirates2007 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 It was a great idea, it was called " The Book of the Dead" it collected the copy tag of lost travel bugs Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Okay, kind of what I suspected. I guess re-releasing a missing Tb to travel in a group of others is permitted. Sounds too much like a Hippy Commune for my taste. I gave up that lifestyle a couple months ago. Quote Link to comment
GeoPirates2007 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 LOL, I was thinking of having it come back to me when full and I can store them for if and when they are found. maybe send them back home then Quote Link to comment
+careygang Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Of course, all 'missing' TBs go somewhere. Having so many 'copy tags' in one place might just be asking for trouble... Quote Link to comment
+TheCollector Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 do you have a link for bug you got the idea from? Quote Link to comment
GeoPirates2007 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 I will see if i can find it, it was in a thread here about unique Tbs Quote Link to comment

+the hermit crabs Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Of the hundreds of bugs we have picked up, "book of the dead" is one of my favorites, partly because of the sentimental value of the two "dead bug" tags that we added to it when we found it. Here's our log (almost two years ago now): This is one of the best ideas for a bug I've ever seen! We will be adding the tags from our "His Addictions" and "Her Addictions" TBs. They were released together in August of 2004, and their goal was to travel separately and then to reunite someday. They both went missing in March of 2005, within a few days of each other (kind of like when one half of an old married couple dies, and then then other one days a few days later of a broken heart?) So now, thanks to this bug, they get to complete their goal after all: they've been reunited at last and will travel together from now on, as part of your TB. Quote Link to comment
GeoPirates2007 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 ok so if I do it, what should I call it? Quote Link to comment
square_peg Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 ok so if I do it, what should I call it? Re-animator. Quote Link to comment
GeoPirates2007 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 It is done. It will launch tomorrow. I called it the Book Of Life. Hopefully it will make it to Mass. to pick up a dead bug from the owner of The Book Of The Dead. Quote Link to comment
