Comments on: Ants! http://www.unitedbyyucca.com/2006/05/17/ants/ This blog is about the things that make me smile, rant or shake my head in consternation.

So, this suggests that red ants are out-breeding black ants 5:2 on our plot. I'm also intrigued that their nests were so close together - as I child we held it as an absolute truth that red ants and black ants were sworn enemies like the English and the Germans, cowboys and indians or Penelope Pitstop and The Hooded Claw. I should really have isolated a black and a red ants' nest and set them side-by-side on a table-top - in the name of advancing scientific understanding, of course.

Your friends seem to have a limitless capacity for hurting themselves in ever more inventive ways. Which one was it who impaled himself on a railing? There is a moral there somewhere.
