         Apparently researchers with not a lot else to do (like trying to invent cars that run on cow dung (see #3), perhaps) discovered that at least one species of ant trains uneducated ant-lings how to hunt for food. While this piece of information is at least mildly interesting, I am not sure what it proves.
         So, there you have it: your Science Item of the Day.

When Keba was young and bored, I would tell her to go watch ants. You can learn alot about just about anything by observing an ant hill.
I hope they do find a way for cars to run on cow manure. We have a steady supply to sell!!
