When I was stationed at Torrejon Air Base, Madrid, Spain, we had a Precision Measurement Electronics Laboratory. One night, they decided to try an experiment.<br><br>They caught a grasshopper and placed it on one of their stainless steel tables and said &quot;Jump!&quot; The grasshopper jumped.<br><br>They re-caught the grasshopper, and using nail clippers, removed it's front pair of legs, put it back on the table and said &quot;Jump!&quot; The grasshopper again jumped.<br><br>They again re-caught the grasshopper, and using the same nail clippers, removed it's middle pair of legs. They put it back on the table and said &quot;Jump!&quot;. Yet again, the grasshopper jumped.<br><br>They caught the grasshopper once more, and removed it's rear pair of legs with those same nail clippers. They then placed the grasshopper on the table and said &quot;Jump!&quot; The grasshopper did not jump. The laboratory personnel, emboldened by their scientific testing, decided that a grasshopper, with all legs removed, could not hear.

 

I thought I heard grasshoppers picked up sound vibrations through there legs, or perhaps crickets Anyway Maybe the military finally got one right they just do not know it!
