    Can you imagine ants at airports and other security places detecting explosives and illegal substances?

    Funny they went for a cartoon dog instead of a drawing of a real dog.

    who knew ants had noses. Maybe it’s an anteater that has a better sense of smell.

    Believe it or not… I don’t! A person with two pupils would be completely blind. Even if he was real, the story of his life is inconsistent with that of a blind person.

    So the blood hounds will eventually lose their jobs to blood ants. Fine. Quieter.

    Liu Ch’ong looks to me to have two corneas, two irises as well as two pupils! This is rare but I don’t believe it’s the only case in medical history!

    If a dog has over 300 scent receptors, how many does an ant have? And where are they since the don’t have “noses”?

    This guy was in the first Ripley’s book, way back when.

    I absorbed that whole book, with lots of stories and explanations.

    Oh, so wonderful. Just filled with such exotic stuff. Impressive to a youngster like me at the time.

    And then there was that visit of a lifetime, at the time,,,a family visit to the St. Augustine, Florida, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum with the shrunken head and the world’s largest boot and all. Lifelong fascination with Mr. Ripley, his drawings and the stuff uncovered by him and Norbert Pearlroth, his main researcher.

    Oh, and the HUGE, rich full color, HALF PAGE Sunday comics!

    I taught my daughter’s parakeet to say “E equal MC squared” and “Here, kitty kitty”.

    It’s just tough putting a leash on an ant so that you can track the culprit!

    Yes, they have tested using wasps to sniff out illegal drugs at airports, too.

    Well, I’m not surprised. No wonder ants often crash picnics.

    The Australian Lyrebird can mimic any sound it hears including car alarms and chainsaws, have a look on Youtube.
