Great post. However, I got one word for you, Amdro Ant block. Got nothing for Hell Aunts, sorry.

Got nothing for Hell Aunts, sorry.

Roger Clinton's kids would like something for a Hell Aunt you you do find anything.

[Equine1952]

I’m betting your right. A little Amdro in her oatmeal might be the ticket. LMAO

We had a houseguest for awhile from Poland, who brought to me a string necklace of amber, probably 24 inches long. At least one stone has a creature captured in it. I used to use it as an object lesson in Sunday School on the subject of repentance.

How embarrassing would it be to be found in amber locked in combat with your ex?

[DallasGal]

Bahaha, indeed :)

[BenLurkin]

How do you use the object lesson in Sunday School on the subject of repentance?

[caseinpoint]

I tell them this insect is frozen in amber forever, unchanging and that we meet our Maker frozen in our sins unless we repent.

All ants have stingers.

But it would be something if they could resurrect this 100 million year old species!

No thanks!

Have enough problems with the insects we have already.

[BenLurkin]

Ah!

Thank you.

Way to go, frighten the children.

This is a wonderful opportunity to try and get some DNA from the hell-ant and to clone a whole nest of the little buggers.

What could possibly go wrong? Ref. fire ants and killer bees.

I saw that movie...

I want a poster of his thing.
