Writes Dr. Lewis Thomas: Ants "farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into wars, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves. The families of weaver ants engage in child labor, holding their larvae like shuttles to spin out the thread that sews the leaves together for their fungus gardens. They exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television."if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you stub your toe, your brain will register pain in 1/50 a second. [How many times did someone have to stub their toe to figure this out?] The cartilage in your nose doesn't stop growing. Expect it to grow 1/2 inch longer and wider as you age. Bone is about four times stronger than steel. It can endure 24,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. The average adult has about 18 square feet of skin. To say one word, you use over 70 muscles. Women have a more developed sense of smell than men do. There are over 200 taste buds on each of the small bumps on your tongue.if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
