There's this cooking show on the radio, which I dislike, and one of the segments that annoys me most is where the caller rings up the host and tells them the pathetic contents of their refrigerator and pantRy and challenges the host to make a palatable dish from the short and comically mismatched list of ingredients. Just get in the car and go buy some freakin groceries, 'k?

Anyway that's what this story reminds me of. A couple of bored students in the school biosciences lab with too much time and too little...guidance. "I'm bored. I don't *want* to work on our term project. There's nothing to do. What can we do? We got ants, and some nail polish, wait, here's a chunk of poo on my boot. :lightbulb: ..." you get the idea. :rolleyes:




edit: corrected funny/embarassing/misleading typo. Thank you LabRat. You may read the original post by subtracting the obvious edit.

BigV's post has the authoritative ring of the voice of experience...

;)

panty?

I thought Howard Stern went to pay radio?

Those slackers ought to get back to what the rest of the world needs and expects - fielding an all robot World Cup soccer team.

FYI: This was just Boing Boinged.

Yar! Prepare to be boarded.

Thankfully they linked to the blog view version, which uses less resources, so the server will survive.

Sadly they linked to the "general" IotD, not the permalink version, which means that if I post a new IotD today, that will be what Boing Boingers get, not the Ant W. C.

I will hold off posting a new IotD until later, for the sake of the Boingers. Welcome Boingers!

Just e-mail 'em. They're usually really good about updating stuff very quickly.

I think instead you should flush the backlog to IotD, give 'em something different every 5 minutes :)

PS: How should links to the IotD be done? This one for example.

I've emailed em and they have fixed it. (Thanks again Mark!)

The best way for high traffic site to link to an IotD is to link to the "permalink" of the blog view version, which is found in the upper right hand corner of the blog view version. The box where it says "Permalink Latest Image" is the "permanent" link to that particular daily image.

Hooray

I wonder how long it took them to tie their boots

Thanks. Now I just have to try and remember there is a special way to link.

Cool
 

Just wait until FIFA get's to know how much the ants get payed. LOL!

They look like they've been Photoshopped for a WORTH 1000 Competition, done something similar myself.

this is all just another example of humans being completely bored with where they stand in the world and how evolution is working to slow for us
