I had an ant farm once, them fellas didn't grow shit |
||||||||
|

I havent owned an ant farm, i was always far too concerned that the ants would escape and run amok throughout my room. However, I have often engaged in playing the critically acclaimed "Sim Ant" on PC. I recommend it. |

Had a huge number of woodlice in the tank as well until recently, then they all suddenly decided to come to the surface and die en mass... There was an 1cm later of dead woodlice covering the whole tank (it's a mid sized fish tank BTW)... Like some weird death cult thing... Hope my ants are ok; had em over 2 yrs now and got kinda attached to em...they hibernate or stay deep below soil at this time of year; so I don't see much of em til spring now... |

jand, evacuate your home immediately. I fear the situation has become much more complicated... |

All creatures would love to live in two dimensions. I know I would. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yes, it is a cult Jand. you see, there is this event that happens every 305 years. a giant wood comet crosses the earth's paths and woodlice that die at that EXACT day go to it...and live on it forever. so you see...all your woodlice are in fact living on a wooden comet hurdling through space..in their absolute bliss! its all for the best Jand...its all for the best.. :( |

^ hehe... w M w .. ever read FLATLAND ? it's a well funny little book about living in a 2D world... don't they believe the world has something like 26 dimensions now?...part of the superstring theory...that's seriously mind-effing stuff... |

lol....cheers Amon ...that's made me feel a lot better...:0).. I thought perhaps they all committed suicide rather than live with me you see.. |

how about you put your avatar on top of itself, only like 12 frames lagging behind... and somehow blended together so one isn't "behind" the other. |

humpf, well that was a joke, i reconed a funny one, anyway, from my favorite comic *Mitch Hedberg* yes well........ |

like these you mean... ... ... ... ... be warned...they may take a minute or so to load if you are on 56K... These ones have multiple loops on top of each other but 1 loop is like 100 frames, the other 99...so they constantly generate new images; think loop len is something like 9900.... it's a subtle effect as the loops slowly go out of sync.... |

read a book. bernard werber - the ants after reading that you will understand :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Wow, someone else who read flatland! Yes, its a great book. I particularly liked the way the 3d creatures refused to believe there was a 4th (or 5th etc.) dimension... Great book and the social commentry in it is good too. Have you read Empire of the Ants (forget the author, it's originally in french though...)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hm. its probably the same book? is it empire of the ants in english? in the book, there is a surprising basement, an ant conspiracy etc. etc. (tryin to explain without spoiling) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, that's the one. Did you read it in french? I was almost motivated to re-learn french in order to read the original of that book... |
