May God have mercy. But don’t grovel. He hates that.
Well, I guess I’ll just go ahead and hijack the thread.
That website has some neat stuff. I’d rather have the blue gel ant farm myself.
What…is the airspeeed of an unladen sparrow?
Ni!
African or European?

Are those real ants? I couldn’t find them on the website. That’s so cool. I want an ant farm now. I just hope they’re not dead and placed in the gel permanently, because that would be a travesty.
I have never had an ant farm, but now I am resolved to get one.
I don’t know if ants go against the housing rules like small furry animals (hamsters, dogs, cats) or are considered “OK” like those who live in tanks (fish, frogs, turtles). My guess would be that they’re OK. I will ask.
No they aren’t dead ants. Well, I don’t think so anyway. That would be a travesty as well as false advertising. Here is the link:

It is sort of expensive. I think you can get a special base with a light in it that makes it even more expensive. It is possible some other company might sell just the gel and you could use your own container. I don’t know.
I guess at some point the ants would eat all the gel. Then I guess you would set them free. I will not accept responsibility for any ant deaths that occur as a result of my posting this link!
Thank you for clearing that up. I remember back a few years ago about the high school student who chopped up little baby mice and suspended their severed body parts in a gel solution, as a piece of art about abortion, so that’s what immediately came to my mind when I saw the ants in gel, that they were dead or fake ants. I’m glad they’re neither. 
"Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light ….”
Oh for god’s sake, just die and move on. At least it gives a small group of folk something to do for a morning…
Ants are awsome. Maybe I’d like an ant farm too. When I was a kid I got an ant farm kit with no ants. I decided it was OK to dig up a big ant mound ant put ants in the ant farm. You can probably guess the outcome.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to Antstastegood.?
He changed his name to John.
A wise choice, I think.
If you took all of the biomass on the planet, and put it in a giant measuring cup, nearly 1/5 of it would be ants. Yum.
Why is God the shortest bobble-head?
Irony.
No. It would be art.
