Biological war has put an end to the world we used to know. The air is now toxic to mankind. And survivors are a mere thousand. Organized into clans, they try to overcome bloodthirsty creatures called the howlers. Every man who wants to protect the people must undergo a dangerous training…

Sometimes I wonder how scientists get the funding that they do. Okay, so they’re sitting at some kind of board meeting, and they’re pitching their research. “We’re going to basically make superants.” And someone is listening to them, stroking his/her chin, and slams down his/her hands and says, “BRILLIANT. How much do you need?” I am glad that people think this way, though, because the closer I can get to having half human/half ant bodyguards, the better.
The international team of scientists, led by Dr Ehab Abouheif of the Department of Biology at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, looked at the genomes of two ant species that produce supersoldiers. They identified the genetics behind the supersoldier caste and were able to activate the genes by treating ant larvae with methoprene, a growth hormone. As expected, the ant larvae became supersoldiers.

Ebay user krayzee4carz is selling his totally crazy amazing custom Star Wars-themed Dodge Ram van for *ahem* only 9 grands.
YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. If you do a Google image search for Star Wars Van this comes up on the front page. (woops, I just checked again and it turns up on the SECOND page.) Graphics were professionally designed and installed. Detail is excellent and there is absolutely NO FADING! This van started out as a lovingly cared for custom van. When I got it the headers, flares, front spoiler, and dash tach were still there. I am only the third owner. It had a custom interior at one time but much of it had been removed and the van had sat for a while. It came with lots of spares and ran great. It was the perfect blank slate…….. THe force was with us.
