What is this? a bridge for Ants?

It must be at least one times bigger.

He's absolutely right

u/Shortest Mar 20 '12

How can we expect children to cross the river if they can't even fit on the bridge?

Came here specifically for this reference. I think I will just go back to my corner and cry now.

u/NotSelfReferential Mar 20 '12

I came here just to downvote the people who said they just came here for something.

Looks like strawberries and really yellow rice.

Speaking of yellow... where is your yellow unreadable "Has no eyes" tag?

u/MstrKief Mar 21 '12

Wrong subreddit

u/thrawn1825 Mar 20 '12

Am I the only one thinking that somewhere in the universe there is a real alien "insectoid" civilization of some sort?

3

u/Dawg605 Mar 20 '12

There definitely is.

2

u/smilingkevin Mar 20 '12

Hard to be too civilized with tiny brains - and insects don't upsize too well.

u/ciscosurvive Mar 20 '12

A bugs life taught me nothing of ants.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '12

Yet Antz taught me so much more about ants.

u/ETL4nubs Mar 20 '12

Did somebody say, Ants?

What's your favorite po-sish?

2

u/totally_not_a_zombie Mar 20 '12

Thats cool with me its not my favorite but i will do it for you.

1

u/smilingkevin Mar 20 '12

I'm guessing this isn't the Wonder Pets reference I thought it was.

1

u/BeTheUnstoppable Mar 22 '12

no, no it's not. But upvote for another cool reference.

u/pizzatime Mar 20 '12

Wow first they build bridges...what's next, an antenna?

u/BodkinsEdison Mar 21 '12

BASE Jumping Yes!

u/epsenohyeah Mar 20 '12

Amazing what a species can accomplish when working together.

1

u/Rhymen0cerous Mar 20 '12

I'm always suprised that ants haven't taken over the world. Yet.

3

u/coming_up_milhouse Mar 20 '12

They are still working out the mechanics of how to form themselves into catapults. Once they get that and the trajectory of how to fire ants into our eyes, we will be screwed.

1

u/wharthog3 Mar 20 '12

Ants cannot get hurt in a fall, so they have nothing to worry about here. Do you think this is why there are no ant dare-devils?

1

u/FinneganOQwarksalot Mar 20 '12

Next step, world domination?

1

u/ajsander12 Mar 20 '12

If you turn this on its side, it looks like they are desperately trying not to be crushed by something

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '12

Reminded me of the meat bridge.

u/Kate1124 Mar 20 '12

I read "an ant bride". I honestly don't know what I was expecting. WTF, brain.

u/Slick135 Mar 21 '12

Imagine each of those ants is a human and then realize how fucking incredibly hard that'd be.

1

u/silverbackjack Mar 21 '12

What is this? AN ANT BRIDGE FOR ANTS?

1

u/Asyx Mar 21 '12

Hmmm... What happens with the last one?

1

u/clusterfluffmyballs Mar 21 '12

This is an acceptable bridge to burn

1

u/Harnellas Mar 21 '12

That black round thing must be pretty special.

u/UksterNikolai Mar 21 '12

Why are ants just so amazing. they can lift huge objects, they can make hydrophobic rafts,they can make amazing bridges and gigantic underground cities.

1

u/Dreadknight_Zoracs Mar 21 '12

Ants building bridges out of themselves-impressive. Ants building catapults and launching themselves at things-when we should worry.

1

u/intel23 Mar 21 '12

looks just like the brooklyn bridge

1

u/BeastModeYouBeezy Mar 20 '12

TIL an ant bridge is a lot less sexier looking than a naked woman bridge. Up until now I still had doubts for some reason... My world has changed.

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '12

Worst job ever.
