#1 Boffins create race of mutant mega ants
01-06-2012, 08:37 AM
SCIENTISTS have created a race of mutant mega ants with giant heads and huge jaws after activating ancient genes in the bugs.
Boffins dabbed the larvae of normal ants with a special hormone to transform them into nightmarish 'supersoldiers'.
It's believed the monsters may be a genetic throwback to an ancestor that lived millions of years ago, according to research published today in the journal Science.

Some of the most memorable "B" movies of the fifties were mutant insects and other assorted critters resulting from nuclear tests in deserts and oceans. But the danger really comes when the "...let's see if we can do this..." scientists forget the law of unintended consequences.
Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

Oh great! I saw this movie when I was a child. Scared the crap out of me. You realize when they get big like this they make hideous screeching sounds?:eek:

Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. (Are you listening Barry)?:mad:

Supersoldier ants can (and do) occur naturally in the wild and grow to around 4mm (that's an inch and a half), but only rarely.It's not how old you are, it's how you got here.
It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.
