Hail to the Queen

Quote of the moment:
It said that early in her life, the Queen Ant will be fertilized by multiple male ants, and will use the sperm from this one incident of insemination to lay fertilized eggs for the rest of her life. I know what you're thinking, "That sucks for her," but perhaps you don't seem to realize just how much this sucks. The average lifespan for a Queen Ant is, get this, fifteen years. So this ant gets gang raped once in her life, and pays for it for more than a decade by never moving and laying eggs pretty much 24/7. I mean, damn.

I'm so glad I'm not an ant.

Summer camp this year is apparently well below par. I'm reassured. I'm also on book 4 of LOTR.

Oooh so thaaat's what ants do. Yeah that's... lovely, very lovely, we say, mid-shudder. *shudders*

Mmmm LOTR. I would get round to a re-read also but for some reason Enid Blyton and her horde of WASP upper-middle-class jolly teenage girls keep distracting me with their ginger beer and ham-and-tongue sandwiches. Mmmm lacrosse. I mean... mmmm thoughts of LOTR marathonage... X-)
