I've seen lots of links to the article on LiveScience about ants counting their steps in navigating the shortest route between two points. Ho hum, I thought, I had a cow-orker who did the same thing when deciding which route to take to the bathroom at work—and he was way dumber than an ant.
My question is why aren't more people excited over the fact that scientists were gluing stilts onto ants? Now that's weird.
