• Cancer-sniffing ants prove as accurate as dogs in detecting disease

    "“Ants are thus equivalent to dogs – the most studied bio-detectors – in terms of detection abilities,” the researchers write. “In some respects, ants surpass dogs because they need an extremely shorter training time
    (30 min compared to 6–12 months for a dog) and a reduced cost of
    training and maintenance (honey and frozen insects twice a week). Our
    simple conditioning protocol can be implemented by everyone, after a
    training time of about 3-day.”

    I was gonna buy a franchise from the new My Fireant Guy (the lucky
    bastard) but then I realized that we don't have fireants here. Yet. And
    with the cost of fuel and delays in shipping... well, it just doesn't
    compute. Damn. I was gonna be rich...

    I was going to post my latest Starlink stats for you, but they were
    too embarrassing. I think Putin is messing with the sats.

    As to being fireantless, just be patient - global warming will bring
    them to you.

    Hey. I said fireants and I meant fireants. If they were pissants, I
    would have said pissants.........but if you want pissants, I've got
    some of those, too. How about some carpenter ants? I think I know
    where a bunch of them are.

    At the end of the day going forward, you gotta stop treating me
    literally like one of the people in your statistical metrics. You're
    almost as bad as my doctor, dentist, optometrist, and mechanic - and
    are wrong almost as often. Also, you liberals and scientists and
    statisticians don't have a patent on "evolving".
