“But they are taking it someplace and they evidently have a purpose. They are quite organized. I often wonder what goes on inside their little brains.

It’s almost like the little ants serve as undertakers for the bigger ants.”


Really? Are you kidding me? Are they going to dress it up in a 3-piece suit and apply make-up so that it looks good in the box, too?

Criminy, they’re going to f’ing EAT the larger ant. They would do the same to you and I, or to an elephant, if they had the chance. That’s what living creatures do, they eat, many times even their own kind (though I am quite happy that most of humanity over most of the last couple tens of thousands of years, has frowned upon that practice - and, yeah, that’s at least partially based on not a little bit of self-interest).

Are you sure that you grew up on this planet?

I grew up on a planet called Flambingola (phonetically spelled for this language) but I’m getting used to this planet day by day. It does have its charms.
