For unimportant reasons, I spent a little time considering ice beetles today.
Now, on the one hand, nobody cares about ice beetles. On the other hand, I do think that any uninteresting thing sounds much more interesting if you add a climatic phenomenon to it. Consider:
Hurricane lamps
Lava lamps
Snow shoes
Storm drains
Sun dogs (generally they bark at the break of dawn)
(It occurs to me that I only find things like storm drains interesting because, living in California, I do not know what they are.)
Some other ones that should exist:
Sleet TV
Drought baseball
Tsunami meatloaf
Maybe ice beetles are also interesting because they are real, but also made up. Like Tataouine.
