| Well, here is more information to keep the thread alive for a bit longer........courtesy of Uncle Johns 4 Ply Bathroom Reader
In medieval times, it was thought that ants in the house were a sign of good luck and abundance
Chinese farmers use ants against pests. A large colony can capture several million insects a year
ANT FARMS
The technical name for an ant farm is a Formicarium
The ant farm is an enduring product; over 12 million farms-containing more than 360 million ants-have been sold so far.
All the ants supplied for the ant farm are female
If an ant dies in the farm, the live ants carry away the dead ant to the north-eastern corner of the farm. If the farm is rotated to a new direction, the pallbearers march into action again, digging up the dead ants and reburying them in the new northeast corner.
There are an estimated 1,000,000,000,000,000 ants on Earth
..and on it goes! |

| i haven't been paying too much attention to this thread, work has been keeping me busy, but i thought of an ant related work story.
i used to work in an office with 2 women. One day we became aware that we ants all over the office. i found a pile of yogurt covered raisins under one woman's desk, which she had dropped there days before. I said we had to spray something on the ants, and while I went to the maintenance dept. to see if we had some Raid or something, my other co-worker began spraying the only thing we had, spray adhesive, all over the floor, gluing the dead ants to the now sticky surface. It took a day or two to clean that mess up.
