This one is made of plaster
And then the nutty professor graduated to aluminum
There was this crazy story about a professor in Tallahassee pouring hot molten aluminum down ant hill holes so he could get these perfect castings of the elaborate subterranean ant colonies. When the hot metal cooled off he pulled this long thing out of the ground, that was so wild and fascinating and beautiful. It looked like some modern chandelier. All you need is a light bulb.
When asked about pouring hot metal on the poor ants, he shrugged it off in the name of science.
Take the time to watch this. It's called The Secret World Of Ants. It's a hot fierce mess.

This is amazing! AMAZING! Wow, those colonies are so beautiful! They would make great chandeliers, or maybe recast the aluminum and make hats! As always, thanks for the support. This was an awesome video. Oh! To post the video, just go to the cbs website, click on share, then copy the letters and figures in the embed section. Paste it into the blog posting and the video will appear. YAY ANTS!
