| The brainless ants wander aimlessly for two weeks then their heads fall off.
I wish that was the end result for all the brainless people I know.

| The first thing that popped into my head when seeing the title of this thread was the song off Mastodon's first album "March Of The Fire Ants". | |

- Pretty neat story.
Who knew there was something besides a microbe that was small enough to inhabit an ant and eat it alive from the inside? Heck, who knew ants had brains?

| So cool. Remember reading about this a while back in NG or some other science mag. Nature is always more fascinating than sci-fi.
Fire Ants are awful in Texas. I got my yard treated with a yearly killer spray. Haven't seen one in over a year. It's wonderful! | |
