  1. I have always been fascinated by old photos. Especially when they are so haunting.

  2. That ant colony is absolutely incredible. How do they organize and execute such a feat of construction? I just don’t get it.

  3. That is horrible!!!!!!!

    Sometimes the cruelty and stupidity of man amazes me and makes me want off this planet more than I have ever wanted off before! How could these “scientists” possibly justify destroying a thriving ant culture in that way? What possible good can come of such a study that is accomplished through such destruction. It is unjustifiable acts such as this that are responsible for the rapidly declining environment of our planet. As if deforestation wasn’t destroying enough life on this planet, now it’s being done en masse in the name of “science.”

    I intend to contact the Science channel and demand that they follow-up with a decent justification of their methods. Man is supposed to be civilized and superior–not brutal and cruel.
