Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Giant mutant ant colony found in Australia
MELBOURNE, Australia (AFP) - A huge ant colony measuring 100 kilometres (62 miles) across has been found under the southern Australian city of Melbourne, scientists said.
Monash University researcher Elissa Suhr said the supercolony of Argentine ants was threatening native biodiversity in Australia's second largest city.
Suhr said the introduced pest's natural aggression kept numbers under control in its native country but the genetic make-up of the ants found in Australia had mutated allowing them to cooperate to build the supercolony.
Giant mutant ants. Australia needs billytea.
-t: I'm sure it's a serious problem for Melbourne, but I am finding the idea of mutant ants whose superpower is cooperation quite charming
ita: Can you imagine getting bitten by one of them and turning into a (ptui) team player?
How incredibly disappointing.

Who? moi??
They have a sister colony under my house. (grrrr)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Continuing the antly fun:
Robin: I heard that colony of ants is beleived to be awaiting an event of some sort--that their unprecedented cooperation is geared towards one end. Scientists have decoded a series of sonar beeps from the colony and they seem to be saying "Billytea, Oh Antly Lord, all is prepared for your return"
Lilty Cash: I can't help but picture them in little ant sneakers and drinking red Kool Aid.

Trudy: Cindy, now you have me all sniffy. I'll never hear that song again without seeing your dance.
Cindy: Trudy, when you're picturing it, please remember all my flaws. My cheekbones are just a little too high, my waist is just a little too small, and my breasts may be too pert! And when my brilliant green/blue eyes flash in anger, they still manage to convey the hidden depths of my sorrow and vulnerabilty masked in strength.

Sue: Hey we haven't had a Nilly report today. Has she gone all Hollywood and forgotten about us?
Allyson: Yes. Today she purchased go go boots and a halter top while eating a pork chop and dancing with a statue of Mary.
Or, she's doing her morning prayers and getting ready to go get some kosher bread for seder.
Gah, I hope it's the latter, her parents know where I live.

SailAweigh in Angel:
Comparing Angel S3 to Alias : Lauren irritated the fuck out of me. Mainly because I was a big Sydney/Vaughn shipper and she got in the way of my ship. But season 3 cured me of that. It was as bad, if not worse than, the Buffy/Angel angstfest that was season 3.
B/S: "I want you, but I can't have you. If I do, you become evil/an adulterer."
A/V: "You're right. I must repress my love...er evil/adulterous desires."
B/S/A/V: "Woe is us, for if we boink, we must go to hell/the NSA."
Audience: "Enough, already! Boink or die."

SusanW in Natter ...
DH first commented what a large team it was relative to NZ's population (something like 150 athletes and a country of 4 million), and speculated, WRT all the shout-outs at the Oscars this year, that they were the only 150 who hadn't been involved in filming LotR. I said, "Are you kidding? I bet the fencers and archers at least were extras." Which led to speculation about the coverage: "And here's Bob Smith from New Zealand competing in archery--he was the fourth elf from the left at the Battle of Helm's Deep."
