Dougiefresh 0 #3 February 10, 2005 Quotethe scientists filmed the falling ants as they quickly swivelled their hind legs in the direction of the tree trunk before beginning a steep, directed dive. Tracking! I bet they don't do relative work though.Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
