I have a strong dislike of ants. This video exacerbated that. The little bastards should not be allowed to Voltron into different states of matter.

My parents and I moved out of Louisiana, when I was five, so I don't have a great many memories of the place.  One of those few memories (and it is very vivid) is of falling directly atop a mound of fire ants.  "Fire ants" is such an appropriate moniker for them, because you will feel like you're on fire, if you wind up amongst them.

Also, protip - don't build cities in a swamp.  You'd have thought Jamestown was lesson enough, but apparently colonial Louisiana was a case of the French needing to learn by doing.
