The coolest thing I've seen this year

[Phildirt]

Saw this on CBS Sunday Morning a couple of weeks ago and it stuck with me. Fascinating stuff, and entymology usually bores me:

I've seen other things about the guy's work. Very cool stuff.

Here's a direct-play thinger:

Phil, you need to click on the HTML-view button. It's just to the left of the words Spellcheck (I should use that sometimes lol) or just rightof the redo button.

Just make sure you get the embeded link (this is posted within Youtube-this is not the link that is in the address bar)within the </ > brackets that you see when you use the HTML view.

I'm sure she'll be able to explain it a little better since I'm not good at explaining things.

That IS cool, but I found myself feeling sorry for the disintegrated ants.

They are amazing insects, aren't they!

Yes, I saw that too! Unreal how intricately detailed ants' nests are. I love watching shows about insects, they facinate me.Does anyone remember Lorne Green's New Wilderness? He used to do shows on animals and insects and anytime he was showing insects, I was always watching.Walking to the park the other day with the kids we passed an ants' nest on the side of the sidewalk. I stopped to show the kids and they too were facinatedby them.
