What a friend I have in Algebrand These rainy days in Swindon wouldn't be the same without him. The other day, Algebrand told me that if ants were the size of humans they could carry a 40-story skyscraper in their mandibles
Well, as you can imagine, Algebrand and I were as happy as a pair of boy scouts on a 60's Hiberian, orienteering expedition. How amusing it was to imagine our 40-story block of flats being plonked right in the middle of the Lake District, by a man-sized ant.
What a fantastic view! What a spectacle!
If this had been the end of the story I would have said no more but, just as we were finishing our Chamomile tea, we spotted a colony of man-sized, army ants swarming across the Swindon downs, and heading straight for us! Before we knew it, the entire town had been transported away and dumped into the North sea. Would you credit it! Who would have thought that ants were not only incredibly strong, but also had such exceedingly good taste.

FTAO Ole Sasquatch.
Last I heard he was hanging out with Jodie Kidd and Pete Doherty (He O.D.'d on the Chamomile tea).

Ah, good drugs or a flashback from the 70's ???
While ants are amazingly strong and have a good degree of intelligence, they would have no need to establish a desire to provoke particular cities of the world. More likely, unknown cities!
Ants have an unusual degree of wisdom, sometimes more so than human-kind.
BTW - Just what happened to Algebrand?
On the other hand - I had a dog named Cosmo-Puppy who had to stay home alone while I worked. Not fair to him, I agree.
One day I brought home some beef teryaki. Usuall six to a portion. I took three and went to the living room to eat and watch the tube! Later, I collected the remaining two pieces of teryaki thinking "Hmm, usually 3 to a box. Go figure"!
A few days (a week or more) Cosmo kept bumping my knee with his rear-end. I looked and found what I first thought to be a toothpick protruding from that location. Thinking he must have sat on one, I retrieved it only to discover an 8" skewer. Now I know where the other piece of teryaki went!
The Ol' Sasquatch Ü
Forgive my speeling. Not real good at that!
God Bless Cosmo-Puppy!

My dog eats its poop then poops it out again... then eats it again. Pretty amazing stuff if you ask me!
