enigmatic puzzle - Soapbox on a street corner


When I was walking today, I came across a man standing on a soapbox. He was broadcasting his view to the world, and though he was speaking in English, I couldn't understand what he was going on about. It sounded like he was reading out a random list of words Most people weren't paying him a shred of attention, but I've done my best to transcribe what he said - maybe you can make more sense out of it than me. He broke off every now and again to get his breath (it was a pretty rapid speech) so I've inserted a newline each time. At the end he was puffing and panting and stopped because he kept spluttering so some of the words might be less reliable

(Hereon is not part of the puzzle, just some random notes)


By this puzzle's nature, part of it may not always be accurate.


You might need to do some research.


This story is based on a fictional event and taken from there...


Part of an upcoming metapuzzle.



Answer



Findings



The idea here is to take the first word of each line and make a sentence. Then, take second word of each line and make another and go on. Doing that you will see, everything is picked up from Beetle Wikipedia Article with a few typos and wordplays.




So...



Taking first word of each line gives -

The Nervous System In Beetles Contains All The Types Found In Insects Varying Between Different Species From Free Thaw-a-sick And 7 Or 8 Abominable G-angular Which Can Be Distinguish To That In Which The Thaw-a-sick And Abominable G-angular Are Few's 2... Form A Composed...Rupture.

Taking second word of each line gives -

A 2015 study provided for independent estimates of total number of beetle species giving A mean estimate of some 1.5 million... with a surprisingly narrow range... spanning... all... for... estimates... from... a... minimum... of... 0.9... 2... a... maximum... of... 2.1... million... bee tool... species...

Taking third word of each line gives -

namib desert beetle has inspired A, self-filling water bottle which utilises hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials two benefit living in dry regions with... no... regular... rainfall...

Taking fourth word of each line gives -

Cooperative brewed care is, also found in the best beetles the, larvae feed on the semi-digested fee-sees of... the... adults...

Taking fifth word of each line gives -

few organisms outside, high-men-opera exhibit, this behavior, the only beetle two so is the... weevil Aust-row-platypus in-comp-a-tus

Taking sixth word of each line gives -

are found in almost every habitat except the C and the polar regions...

Taking seventh word of each line gives -

different, populations, have between them developed resistance too major class' of insecticide...

Taking eighth word of each line gives -

bug bomb Y our next... terrorist... attack... could... on... sick... legs...

Taking ninth word of each line gives -

hyperactive... antifreeze... protein beetles



And...



There are some words which look like typos which are marked by '?' -

Anamib - A Namib
high-men-opera - Hymenoptera
Thaw-a-sick - thoracic

G-angualar - ganglia
Aust-row-platypus - Austroplatypus
Brewed - brood
Some other typos -

Y - Why
sick - Six
C - sea
abominable - Abdominal

Some combined/seperated words
A-materials - A materials
bee tool - Beetle
Y-protein - Why Protein
