Posted By:

I was just channel surfing and started watching a program on the science channel about ants.Did anyone know that millions of years ago ants evolved from wasps.The stinging of some species of ants is left over from the evolution process...very odd...I did not know this

If you look at illustrations of how it was "back then" (judging from fossils) the plants are all giant, the bugs are all huge...  I think everything is shrinking.  Except for people, we are getting bigger.  It's good to be near the top of the food chain, haha...  Just my 2 cents.  :)

Sucks about the ants though, some of those suckers are NASTY.  Fire ants must be descended from bald-faced hornets, they'll sting you if you look at them funny.
