What do the mods have against ants? This has already been redlighted at least three times today.

Maybe subby's entire world is on one of the sedimentary layers... maybe the ants are covering his entire world, and YOUR entire world is covering the ants.

I've been playing Spore all week, so I got a kick out of your reply. I then evolved some spines so you'll stop kicking me.

The one time the full quote could have been used, and you screwed it up. Bad subby, bad.

So when you say this colony of ants covers the entire world, you mean to say that they live in the ocean as well?

Why the fark do people submit Slashdot articles? You get one paragraph of the story and have to go to another page to actually get something worthwhile.

Cut the shiat, subby.

I think Obama should appoint an Ant Czar

 
Candygram4Mongo 2009-07-02 02:27:43 PM  
Yeah, you know, mix up a little boric acid with peanut butter and honey, that should clear your little ant problem right up.

A worldwide colony, you say? Well, in that case, you'd want to locate the ant bait along their major trails, like the isthmus of Panama...

OK, but he or she will have to be gay, because you can't get a straight Ant Czar from Obama.

I don't remember the "out of space!" part of Phase IV, but I don't think I've actually ever seen the beginning.

That movie freaked the hell out of me as a kid. It just has this unsettling, strange quality that a lot of older films have, especially low budget ones. Though Phase IV doesn't hold a candle to Manos in that regard. That movie is farking creepy, not for the story or anything, it just seems so monumentally weird and wrong. Like Crow (IIRC) said, "Every frame of this film looks like someones last known photograph."

The bit from outer space, is at the beginning. The planets in our solar system all line up on one side of the sun as someone narrates that a signal had been sent.

Then this pops up on the screen and it's game over for humanity.

We have these ant here in Los Angeles. They don 't bite or sting like the fire ants. They are only an occasional nuisance, getting at any sweets left out.

They don't fight each other? Ants must not have religion.

I made reference to it in that thread and no one noticed, so you're probably right.
