New weapon turns fire ants into headless zombies

Something similar happens in our universities. The faculty plants these leftist ideas into the heads of the students. When they graduate, the students wander around aimlessly in grad school, until they become TAs and plant the ideas into the heads of more students. And, the economy suffers. But I'm not sure if newborn calves are affected.

oh so you deport the ants to mexico and the narcos kill them ...i see.

Another "B" movie plot coming out of the studios of las colinas or hollywood?

This sound like the drunken babbling of an out of work screenplay writer. And after reading the article, I wish it was.

Wasn't the Killer bee situation a botched scientific experiment about insects that got out of control by getting OUT?!? Do scientists NOT learn from their colleagues' cluster F**ks of the past? There has got to be a less aggressive way.

Doesn't really sound like something credible coming from the research of Texas A&M and UT. Now if they said the party school like Texas Tech was considering this, I could see it for a variety of reasons.

I like this in theory, effects only the fire ants. BUT not have the new WMDs start looking around for another food source when their original one goes extinct. What next would they make go extinct? Do these scientists have that in consideration?

When an indigenous and harmless species goes extinct, is that when these researchers are going to say, "OOOoooopsie!," ??? Realizing that the fire ants are already extinct and their genie refuses to get back in the bottle.

Actually the tests were done at the Republican Convention. Now, their heads are filled with maggots, they should start dropping off by Halloween. So appropriate! Walmart will probably have them on isle nine!

If you're going to attempt comedy, you could at least spell correctly. Illiteracy is a terrible thing.

I realize that the rest of you are all wannabe comedians, but seriously, this isn't new at all. These tests have been going on for over 7 years. Even the news of it here is old.

Who cares.

You obviously don't live where fire ants have invaded and made some other species extinct. But that's the American way. Don't give a shit about anyone but yourself.

I wasn't referring to the story about the ants just the comments about how this is old news and cutting on people misspellings and attempts at humor.

I lived in Louisiana so I am well acquainted with fire ants. Since this story posted on the Monterey Herald website, this could be new news for those who have never seen a fire ant or it's hills.

**The ant will get up and wander for about two weeks while the maggot feeds, said Rob Plowes, a research associate at the University of Texas at Austin.

"There is no brain left in the ant, and the ant just starts wandering aimlessly," he said.**

I'll say it since no one else has.... is this what happened to Becky Johnson???

Can't wait until her head falls off!

What's a wannabe? Is that an animal that lives in Australia?

Your question qualifies as stupid. Tickle yourself, you might get more laughs.
