Ants can smell death, but can they see him?
Even though they are lower on the food chain, it takes us smarter, more evolved humans to spend money to study them. Yeah, us.
According to a study, by Live Science, "When an ant dies, its nestmates quickly pack it off. That way, the risk to the colony of infection is reduced." Ant gangrene is really nasty in an underground, moist hole.
"'It's because the dead ant no longer smells like a living ant that it gets carried to the graveyard, not because its body releases new, unique chemicals after death,' said study team member Dong-Hwan Choe, a graduate student at University of California, Riverside."
Before you wonder why I posted a random, legit science story here on my blog. Here comes the hilarity. Apparently, this whole study of ant necrophoresis, is so that we can learn how to better kill them.
"When an ant exposed to an insecticide dies in the nest, other ants carry its body around, with the insecticide transferring easily from the corpse to healthy ants." This is why ants can't evolve. We are synthesizing death stank and spreading it like the black plague across the ant kingdoms of the world. Now that is science.

The Large White Man has made the top 100 for time, Rush Limbaugh
Normally I don't include entire articles, but this one is short and written well. In fact, much better than I could write it. Asians are known for mathematics and getting into Berkley, not engrish. Enjoy.
"For some of us, being a media personality just isn't as easy as it used to be. The theory goes that to build a large audience in this age of iPhones, podcasts and whatever the latest buzzword is, you have to do everything at once — and that means simultaneously host a radio program, host a TV show, write books and tour the country. Even Barack Obama had to hold a press conference, go on 60 Minutes, talk to Jay Leno and post clips on YouTube within the span of one week just to get people to pay attention to his budget.
But not Rush Limbaugh. When Rush wants to talk to America, all he has to do is grab his microphone.
He attracts more listeners with just his voice than the rest of us could ever imagine. He is simply on another level.
No matter how many new technologies pop up, nothing will ever surpass the intimacy of radio. And nobody will ever be better at utilizing it than Rush. His consistency, insight and honesty have earned him a level of trust with his listeners that politicians can only dream of. And that is why the more irrelevant critics try to make him, the more relevant he becomes.
Rush, 58, saved the spoken-word radio format from obscurity and paved the way for thousands of broadcasters, including myself. His career serves as the most successful stimulus package in radio history. All without a government dime.
Knowing firsthand just how hard it is to hold an audience's attention for a few hours makes it that much more amazing to have seen Rush do it for more than 20 years. To say that he has set the standard for success in broadcasting would truly be an understatement.
