Ants are the Apocalypse?

Anyone else heard about this? I seem to vaguely recall an episode of MacGyver that had something like this.

Ugh. And to think that I used to like ants...
Forget it. I'm not arguing with the computer anymore to try to get the sig I want....

How could you have ever liked ants the little clever industrial evil b******s.

They ruin everything! And they get freaking everywhere!

It's killer bees that frighten me. I don't even like REGULAR bees.

Or giant spiders, like in the movies. *shivers uncontrollably*

Ants? Not so bad. Of course, I've never really been around the biting or stinging variety, so I guess I don't have much room to talk.
Best regards,
Dáin

I used to live in New Mexico. Them ants can hurt if they're annoyed. Especially the red ones.
I don't remember if they were actual fire ants that got me, or just the generic red ants that hurt like heck and people erroneously call them fire ants... but them red ones can really sting when they're mad. I tend to think it was real ones that I accidentally sat on....

That's actually been a theory that has died out long ago.

But I love ants, but only the docile kind that dig away their happy hours in a jar.

They sometimes invade my room when I turn on the sprinklers (ant spray FTW!). Makes me wonder where they all go when it rains.
