Ants are ****ing smart.

I heard if you mix milk with bleach it blows up, a kid got his hand blown off.

It was one of those stories you'd hear as a kid. Sounds made up, but no one has ever tried it. You also have to shake it alot too.
 
There are those little ant traps you can buy that lure the ants to them, they take the toxic substance back to the queen, and the queen eats it, then dies... :D

And my posts about my family scare you? The fact that you make Chloroform at home is somehow more benign than that? lol

I, uh, didn't mean anything by that. I'm sorry if I offended you. :(

I'm not offended in the least :)

And pssaw to Glenn... anybody can go into a search engine and type "How to make Chloroform" and "How to Create Mustard Gas" <--- That one is really easy.

As well as "How to build your own nuclear bomb". Might need to use some advanced google search features for that one though.
 
I used to think up new ways of killing ants , id pour boiling water on them (they literatly shrivel up and die) , slicing them in half (nine times out of ten thier torso will live for a few miniutes) , decapitate them , spray them with various sprays and one time i got them drunk. But on the topic of thier intelligence yes , yes they are smart.

You mean, you got yourself drunk and interpretted their completely normal behavior of running around in random directions as drunk behavior.
 
I thought everybody knew that the scouter ants layed a "scent trail" so the worker ants could find the shit....

Anyway, ants are a very smart species, and their culture is pretty badass.
 
Yeah I love their music and dances. Varies wildly between each species, but all are completely impressive.

Long ago I witnessed a line of ants coming out of the faucet of a bathtub. The line went almost to the other side of the tub, passing other droplets of water, where they all congregated around one particular droplet. Every once in a while a few would go back up the line to the faucet, letting others partake of the droplet of goodness. It was like some kind of ant bar. Not sure if there were any bouncer ants, though.

Ants are ****ing drunk.
 
One of these days, we will see UFOs pouring cement on one of our major cities.
 
Ants are ****ing ****s. They invade termite nests a lot and attempt to kill them all. Some termites have extra huge mandables that are so big that they cannot eat for themselves. They need other termites to feed them. On the other hand when an ant attacks a termite colony these guys use their huge jaws to block the tunnels, stopping the ants from advancing. A group of them can latch on to each other and completely block a tunnel, sacraficing themselves for the collony. Ant-termite warfare rocks.
 
I love to spray ants with poison and watch as they squirm and seize up violently.
 
I'd equate that more to crappy soldiers than pyros.

The survival of the colony is more important than the individual life.

Their society is so synchronized and perfect it's like the colony is a single organism.

There's no free-will though in an ant's society. That's the catch.

Mind-controlled commies.

And you know where that leads...
 
There was a movie at the library I thought about checking out. I think it might have been called 'Ants Are ****ing Smart.'
 
I've noticed these things too. It's neat how they have such complex colonies.

You know, SimAnt is a fun game. It's kind of educational. I've been playing it since I was like four or five or something.
