So last night I watched about ten minuites of a seriously bad movie about mutant ants (on a plane!). I don't know, maybe they ended up off the plane at some point, but when I was watching it it was all about ants on a plane.
(Side bar for those who don't know: I hate ants. A lot. I mean I hate most insects, but I have recurring nightmares about ants. I stepped -- and being unawares than stood on-- on an anthill back when I was a preteen and I have never gotten over the horror of feeling something biting my leg, and looking down and seeing all these ants crawling up my leg.)
When I woke up this morning what was on the front page of the paper?
Ants go marching across Halifax. We have European fire ants here in the city. And i love this article, I really do. When you have things written in it like:
"this ant is an invasive, exotic species that aggressively defends its territory and will sting humans and pets that enter their territory."
""They swarm on you and they really hurt."
And my favorite: "These ants form "super colonies."
AAARRRGGHHH.
