130k for a camper that attracts termites? NEIN.

This must be part of the plan to keep jihadists from turning NYC into NUKED York.

Liberal policy termites chew a house into a woodpile not worth burning.

^David Attenborough

Hey, what about George Page? ...guess nobody remembers him, or that great voice.

I had the chance to work with Attenborogh a few years back. He was impressively interested and aware of the biology around him. Camara men, sound guy, and director were all top notch professionals, but Attenborough was that (while shooting) AND generating hypotheses about why covered termite paths took the course they did.

you know what.. I'm about at my limit with this bullshit.

Dag, you have to realize you're going to have to live with this nonsense and crybaby behavior you are promoting. THe question is WHO IS NEXT? Here's the thing, this wasn't an administrative decision by yourself, or even a result of back channel complaints.

You have now empowered these spineless baby tards with the ability to at least feel they have control over who is allowed in their swimming pool. This is the internet, and if they can't learn to ignore things that aren't even offensive and aren't even violating any of the rules, you've got serious problems.

Trust me, I'm not unique in my feelings on this, and I think you will see the membership and number of regulars plummet as the result of constant pandering to a small clique of people. I'm glad they've set up shop, but the termites have done more than just put up their happy curtains and redecorate the place a bit.

Out of thousands on comments they can't ignore one or two? They can't message concerns to you back channel and deal with this like normal people? They have to resort to childish and normally bannable "call-out" public posts?

Why is it not bannable for this kind of childish and disruptive behavior? And appealing to mob mentality to act like there is a problem, when there really isn't one? The new "elite" are a bunch of bullies and moralists.

it's the star trek termite midgets!

There aren't any ant kings as far as I know, so congratulations my queen.


Only termites.

If God created the universe, as a enlightened being am sure he seeded life on many different planets across many different solar systems and different Universes, sure that the chaotic system of order he created would lead to beings that are intelligent and question their own place and existence on this plain. For time is meaningless for him as a concept, a billion years passing in a heart beat, he waited for one of his seeds to evolve to give him company, to act as a mirror to what he is.

I mean honestly, we so delude ourselves that we are in some way special. We are not. Life is capable of emerging on countless planetary systems across the Universe. We refuse to believe it is possible because we cannot fathom the millions and billions of years that all of existence has endured and how we, our whole documented existence is but a fraction of a fraction of that time.

And even then somehow we believe we can connect to a being that has created the universe as vast as the one we occupy on our small planet, its not like a human being communicating to a termite, its like a sun communicating with a cell based life form.

Yet we are so bold, so arrogant to assume that it is we who are the focus of it all.

Giant dirt mound hills where ants inhabit? That would make you an African termite.

Oh, right. The genious hypothesis that throngs of secret government ninjas repeatedly infiltrated the two towers and apparently 7WT dressed as UPS delivery boys for months and perhaps years on end before 9/11/01 planting these so-called "much more advanced" military bombs that explode without actually generate any sound, yet are capable of collapsing a building. But wait, call me stupid but anything that explodes causes noise as a result of the compression of sound waves spreading out from the source. So, the military must have even more advanced technologies than we conspiracy theorists were aware!

Perhaps they are so advanced they no longer even need bombs. Perhaps there were invisible laser beams being fired from a distance. Or is more likely that they government has simply developed termites with diamond teeth and an appetite for metal and they were simultaneously all released from their well-hidden hibernation tubes located on each floor right near the appropriate support beams within the walls? And of course since these much more advanced termites have been in hibernation for years, they had quite the appetite and they powered through the building so quickly that dust and smoke started pouring out which is why people mistakenly believe there was a fire in the building. Then I guess to leave no evidence behind, they must have had jet-packs attached so when the building came down they were able to fly away hidden in the clouds of smoke only to be captured later and assassinated alongside all the secret govnernment ninjas so they could never reveal in what they had participated.

Maybe the ninjas in fact delivered newborn babies into the walls of the buildings on every floor 10 years ago with a decade worth of foodstuffs and a How-To manual for the included welding kit they would instinctively know to break open on the morning of 9/11. Hmm, but they'd need to use the bathroom and might die of boredom... Perhaps they were really robots with advanced military laser beams that cut through all the major supports for the building.

Oh, but wait, the video that dictates what I'm supposed to believe says from "explosive energy" that caused the "hot dust clouds." Looks like I'm back at square one...

Help me out here. There are just so many very plausible, believable, realistic theories that it's hard to determine with which one I should embarass myself by announcing my enormous gullibility to the world.

Or wait, maybe gorgonheap has a point: Code in the united states requires that buildings over 3 stories high be able to collapse in on themselves so as not to damage, or to minimize damage to surrounding structures.
Nah, he's out of his mind. It was the government with their advanced ninja non-exploding-bomb weapons. Everyone knows it.

Ants, wasps, termites, bees, etc. are all social insects.

Why termites? Use ants.

hehehe ant delievered as promised in his post about the termite vid... very reliable ;-)

termite nate

That maybe a great idea. I wonder if you could keep enough termites alive and not burrowing through your motherboard.
