February 05 Stripping Black Ants of Their 'Saint' Titles. Meet Bart. Bart's an ant. Bart's one of those high and mighty prima donnas who needs a lot of persuading to have his picture taken because he's scared the camera might somehow ruin his regal,debonair looks. Bart isn’t very photogenic. He needs a five minute break to explore my hand and groom himself before his next photo shoot. Bart hates Chemistry. This one picture of Bart shows him burying his head in his hands. After a bit, Bart decided he’d had enough and waddled away importantly, nose turned up. When I was walking home one day, I overheard a conversation between three kids.
One of them was stamping on an ant hole and killing the black ants.
Another said solemnly,"Ey, don't kill the black ants, da*, they're God."
"Ey, no, da," said the boy who was causing havoc in the peaceful neighbourhood of ants. "If they're God then there'll be soooo many Gods. Thoo**."
* Da: South Indian version of 'Dude'.
** Thoo: Term to express one's disgust. Usually accompanied by a look of contempt/curling of lip. Very effective.
Thanks to all you guys, I have stopped fantasizing about being a worm and about making friends with other leaky arthropods.
It was nice while it lasted. Oozing goo while you converse and all that sort of thing.
Ive got my exams coming up next week.
And they go on for three weeks.
If you come to my funeral, bring some lollipops with ya. |
