*snort* All this emphasis on strength and efficiency is more akin to the -most important- scruples of a fascist society. =P And to be perfectly honest, that is what ants best embody. Nice one there.

Though as to being able to lift ten times their weight... an ant the size of a person could probably barely lift itself. A human the size of an ant could probably lift more. Why can a house cat jump ontop of a car but a tiger have trouble jumping ontop of a house (a lesser distance for its size)?

TheSlyOne, you should buy some firecrackers and small explosives to help rid your backyard of these pesky pests.

hmmmm, the guy didn't talk about how the female workers kill the male ants for food if their sources are low and about how the male ants die after mating because its genitals are ripped off by the queen when she files away after mating. damn, sucks to be a male ant lol.
