And Now We Have Competition
By Mitch Berg
An ant colony – as in, several immense colonies of related ants – is taking over the world
Argentine ants living in vast numbers across Europe, the US and Japan belong to the same inter-related colony, and will refuse to fight one another.
colony may be the largest of its type ever known for any insect species, and could rival humans in the scale of its world domination.
What’s more, people are unwittingly helping the mega-colony stick together.
Given that ants go through many generations a year, now long can it be before they catch us?
Fortunately, the Obama Administration is not only reaching out to the Ant world (so they don’t think we’re too arrogant), but he’s already started re-engineering American society in the image of an ant colony.

I used to fascinated with ants.
Until that Ant guy who was a runnerup on “Last Comic Standing” hosted “Celebrity Fit Club” and ruined it for me.
