Posts: 18808 07/29/2001 11:41 PM Borg Ant, Your Overlord	I was reading an article on AntColony Web site ( www.antcolony.org/news/Ca...ecture.htm ) about a guy (Walter Tschinkel) pouring dental plaster into ant nests. Wow, I would love to see those close-ups! The detailed article is on abcnews.go.com/sections/s...12501.html ...

I hope he didn't kill any ants. /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Ant (AntDude -- Your Host) from The Ant Farm's Message Board.\| \|. .\| \| \ _ / The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.home.dhs.org ( )

Stuff like this might be used if the world ever needed to hide underground from comits or nuclear winters of some sort. I hope they can get plaster molds of other ant nests as well. Discover that maybe ants dig deeper than we think. What might look like a small colony outside might be a huge labrinth underground going down meters.

Where's the food storage is. /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Ant (AntDude -- Your Host) from The Ant Farm's Message Board.\| \|. .\| \| \ _ / The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.home.dhs.org ( )
