Unnamed mantis eating his second cricket

a video of the mantis, narrated btw, though parts at the end weren't intended...
my cousin Jon got his driving license today. So today I'm basically stuck here since Aunt Linda, and mom took the other car to a girls night out, and Jon has the other one. Uncle Jim was explaining Sonar and the problem of fing oput when a sonar went critical from failure (apparently some of the "microphones" can fail and it will still function). Apparently he was the one who figured out a way to well tell you when it was failing... There were over 400 unknown variables many people had tried it, but it wouldn't work, because none of them took into consideration where these parts were when they failed. He explained this over a big length of time, so I'll be brief, he apparently was the one who found the right way to figure out whether it was failing, as his was done by simulation, not sure quite how, but he made a program that would figure it out, and this program did take into account where these parts were when they failed, and location of the microphones, (and the location of which ones) fail is important since if it's in the center of the array it's more important then one next to it, and so on.
