He did die, we're sad, and nature abhors a vacuum... (digital ant farm)
Uncle Milton's (the company) is still alive and well, however... unlike the ants in your old ant farm.
His new ant farms are now high tech; filled with green gel instead of sand, LED back-lighting, fancy frame, etc. In fact, these ant farms are no longer called farms. Too bucolic. They have been up-scaled. Call them colonies now. Fortunately, the gated community concept survives. But...
Some people worry about leaving ants too close to the microwave, radon in the soil or cosmic rays (from the ants being delivered via air mail).
One can't be too careful. I saw some Milty Mutants at the Atlanta airport.
What does this have to do with spying?
Nothing. Just keep your knees loose, your eyes open and take good care of your ants. ~Kevin
