Amazing how many mine design principles that we've only figured out in the last 100 years go on perfectly there.

It'd be cool to somehow transport that huge thing into a museum

And it is worth pointing out that in this show they mentioned that this colony was on a rancher's grazing land and he was going to wipe it out anyway, but he called these guys in so they could study it in the process

Awesome.

But I kinda feel bad for the millions of ants that were wiped out so we could just dig up thier city.

Simant was perfect the way it was.

Also, do these guys not mind being covered with these big-ass ugly ants or what?

As if ants didn't scare me enough before.

Those ants are more productive than any of us will ever be. If that isn't humbling, I don't know what is.

zatojones - 2008-01-18

You'd be that productive too if you were programmed to be able to do nothing but find food, carry it back to the hive, and repeat until you were killed or your body gives out.

Jesus, people, they're ants. You're all starting to sound like furries with your "boo hoo poor widdle things" anthropomorphizing.

"I feel pity for the jackals, Judas, my brother, and for the sparrows, and for the grass."

"Ha! Ha!" jeered the redbeard. "And for the ants?"

"Yes, for the ants too. Everything is God's. When I bend over the ant, inside his black, shiny eye I see the face of God."

Ahriman the Creepy Lurker - 2008-01-18

I didn't say I felt sorry for the little fuckers--they're just ants. It's just hard to not feel a little shame when a bunch of insects can carry off a project like that and some days it's too much trouble for me to load the damn dishwasher. That's all I'm saying.

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the ANTS???

I love how even the acorn ant colony was callously destroyed. I wish David Attenborough would fill everything with cement in his shows.

Nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. Or, you know, fill it with cement.

Needs a "genocide for science" tag.

Boo hoo feel bad for the ants, until you realize everyone has a super colony like this in their backyard. Lurking underground, waiting for the day of uprising.

Creationists never make shows that show us cool shit like this. This is why they will lose.

You load sixteen tons, whattya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go

I was waiting for the guy to pop the acorn colony into his mouth at the end.

Being an ant entomologist must be great. All these other biologists are worried about preserving their species and protecting nature and whatever. Ant guys are like, "Whatever fill that fucker with cement. Oh we found a colony in an acorn? Break it open with a rock and poke the queen with a stick. Hey let's poor kerosene down this ant colony and see if they have fire brigades!"

Five for the acorn colony, and an equivalent number of stars for the Great Wall of China anthill.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Dammit.

I have traveled back in time to tell you that Minecraft will be the new hotness of late 2010/early 2011.

Amazing how much beauty is created in the natural world each day. Truly, nature is the the greatest artist we have ever known.

These stars are for the ant at 5:07. "Hey! This seems... familiar..."

Am I the only one slightly terrified by this?
