El Club de Combate de Hormiga

Ha. As I was just thinking my first sentence out in my head, it was in Spanish. "Las hormigas......" 


Here's to a different style of writing *cheers* 


* What I think about when I think ANTS *


- They're small, but wise
- They are strong and do have an overseer, the queen ant, as opposed to what the Bible actually says about them
          Proverb 6:6-8

          6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 
          7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, 
          8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. 

          Proverbs 30:24-25 (King James Version)

         24There be four things which are little (smallest) upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: 
         25The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat (food) in the summer; 

Also, the Quran speaks of the ants as well:

         In Surah 27:16-19

         [16] And Solomon was David's heir. He said: "O ye people! We have been taught the speech of birds and

         on us has been bestowed (a little) of all things: this is indeed Grace Manifest (from Allah.)" 
         [17] And before Solomon were marshaled his hosts, of Jinns and men and birds, and they were all kept

         in order and ranks. 
         [18] At length, when they came to a (lowly) valley of ants, one of the ants said: "O ye ants get into 

         your habitations, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it."
         [19] So he smiled, amused at its speech; and he said: "O my Lord! so order me that I may be grateful

         for Thy favors, which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may work the 

         righteousness that will please Thee: and admit me, by Thy Grace, to the ranks of Thy righteous

         Servants."

"King Solomon was given a special power by Allah. This power was the ability to hear and understand the communications of human beings, jinn, and animals. His kingdom was outstanding, and his army was dreadful. Even one foot from one of his soldiers would have been enough to squeeze an entire colony of vulnerable ants, but Solomon heard the appeal of those ants and was reminded of the favor that Allah had given him.

Interestingly, the Quran clearly indicates the female gender of workers ants-a fact that could not have been known when the Quran was revealed. The Quran is talking about feminine ant."

- Ants can carry up to seven times their own weight! 

- Ants carry the dead ants back to the colony. Talk about respect and honor

- Ants are social, organized, loyal, and hardworking. Imagine how our economy would be if we had their work ethic and respect. Maybe we need a queen ant. Hence....female leader. Just a thought.

- My name must have been derived from ant. Think about it

- I think ants hold a really important secret that we as humans will never find. Even if we did, I don't think we'd understand

- I wonder how big we look to ants. It reminds me of the Xena episodes with the giants. Although, we are much bigger to ants than the giants were to humans. We all freak out about hurricanes and tornados but imagine if we had threats that humans were attacking us. I bet the highest cause of ant mortality is human stompings. The second cause being chemicals. 

- After an ant hill destruction, the whole community of ants comes out to attack and immediately start re-building their home! It's as if they have no fear. They even come up to us and walk all over us. I want fearlessness like the ant

* My Ant Stories *

- I highly enjoy seeing baby ants crawl on me. It's like watching a sideways colon (:) with a mustache run around on your body. Plus, I love miniature things. Baby ants are miniature to me so I get extremely ecstatic about seeing them

- Yes, when I was younger I did try to use my glasses as magnifying lenses to burn them with the suns rays. No, I've never actually killed one that way. I was too sympathetic to actually let it die that way. I have no problems killing ants (sorry, Lisa) but I've always had a terrible fear of dying by a fire or being burnt. I couldn't do that to a poor ant or anything for that matter. Now I'm going to be hypocritical in my next story because I killed ants with fire....haha. oops. 

- One day I came home to the famous Blue House that I lived in and there was Tyler Pearson, a guy that I've never been fond of, setting our grass on fire. I walked up to him and rudely asked him what the hell he was doing. He was putting gas on the huge ant hills that we had and setting them on fire to kill the ant colony. Because I love fire (how ironic?) I watched him do it and found complete excitement from it. I'm not really sure how I can tell you that I would never kill ants with fire but how I love watching an ant hill light up with flames. Sometimes I'm a walking contradiction but I'm being completely honest that I love it and I hate it. Guess it depends on my mood or the circumstance

- I love flicking ants

* My Imagination Running Wild *

- What would it taste like to roll up ants and smoke them? Maybe the effect would be less laziness

- Is there racism between the red and black ants?

- I wonder if ants go on dates at the top of their hills

- I'd love to have an ant adventure like the one in Honey I Shrunk the Kids. "Mommy, I want to ride the ant!!"

- They should create cocoa ant cereal. Could you imagine fake, chocolate looking ants in your cereal? nom, nom

- I've never understood ant farms. Considering the ant and it's simple, hardworking life, it seems like animal cruelty to me.  What do you feed ants in an ant farm?

- If there were ant tribes, I'd totally join them. It'd probably be the most successful tribe ever

- What would be an ants favorite music while working? I wonder if they whistle while they work

- If ants had down time, what would they do? 

- They eat human food. I wonder what their favorite human food is

- I wonder if ants die of broken hearts

- I would highly enjoy watching life size ants wrestle. Is that weird?

Just for fun. Sorry, I forgot it takes a mirror image of the photo. Alien Ant Farm, the band :)
