newsflash: ants consume grasshopper!

Despite the seemingly sensationalist nature of the headline, IT'S TRUE. Examine closely the photo below. You will see a RING OF ANTS. These ants are DRINKING FROM THE TROUGH OF SPILLAGE that gathered around the bottom of the measuring glass I used to make a grasshopper (creme de menthe, creme de cacao and cream -- shake with ice in a cocktail shaker, garnish with grated chocolate). As well as being SCIENTIFIC PROOF that ants like to drink noncy cocktails, it's all part of my grand, 5-YEAR, 6-POINT PLAN to become the best cocktail artiste since Bryan Brown in Cocktail. I have a book and a shaker, and everything.

STAND BY.

Why don't they CROSS THE LINE? WHY?

All 4 of us are saving up to get you an hour with the best psychiatrist they have over there. Be prepared.

WHY? Would you bother to cross the Mississippi river - risking life and limb- if you could see it was the same on the other side?

i would like to put it to adam (of ant fame) to ascertain whether the ants are toeing the line or is it that the line is not fine enough to walk?
