Man, the British guy with the banner is dressed like he's going to Alaska, while Mark Karpelès is dressed like he's going to the beach...
Is it the fat or what?
Yes it is.
When I was younger I was a scrawny little thing and I was always cold. After my arthritis hindered me from exercising I got more like Mark and now I'm always hot, I wear t-shirts way in to the end of fall.
'tis simple math: body surface area is proportional to r^2, volume is proportional to r^3.
Your body size (volume) increases faster than surface area, hence more difficult to dissipate body heat (from the surface).
BTW, exactly the same for me now vs young me...wifey is making fun of my propensity to be in shorts until November.
I remember as a child stepping on a apparent ground nest of either large wild bees or hornets deep in the woods, then I saw them crawling outta there and starting to get airborne.
I ran like a wind...and escaped. It only takes a few dozen bites to bring you down, I think.
Years ago I was working in the yard sucking leaves with my leaf vacuum. Heard a buzzing and realized I hit a yellow jacket nest in the ground. As they started to come up I thought about running then realized who I was: Top predator. So I started sucking them up and put the nozzle over their nest hole. The noises made by the impeller in the next few minutes were.... interesting but when it stopped there was not a yellow jacket to be seen and I had a quiet summer.....
The silent spring....
...now we know why insects are dropping in ##..too many gd leaf vacuums..
I kid, I kid.
