    Boiling water is great for some things... If someone's choking to death on a block of ice, you just pour some down their neck and they're saved.

    Flying ants are actually females and mating takes place this time of year before they set off to establish new colonies.

    The males are the skinny wimps running around on the ground playing the waiting game.:D

    'Dougal looks through a pair of binoculars and sees a crazed army of ants and announces, “The ants are back, Ted.”'
