Some people say that when you see an ant in your kitchen you should always kill it, because if they go back to where the other ants are with some food, when they see it they'll all come to your kitchen. I say it's better to just half-crush it, that way when it comes back and the other ants see what you did to it they'll stay the fuck away from your kitchen forever.

It probably does not matter either way. Ants generally do not view visual stimuli the way we do. Instead, they react, instinctively, to pheronomes.

Whether or not you kill the ant or only half crush it, the same pheronomes would be released, signalling the same response in the rest of the colony.

Whenever I kill a bug I always leave it's carcass lying around for awhile......so the other bugs can see what happens to bugs when they come near my house.


and if I ever half-crush one(a great idea by the way).....I alway whisper in their ear.....I want you to tell all your friends about me.

I've always wanted a termite farm...you know the ones where they build thier caves out of a concrete like mixture and it stands up to 11 feet tall? I've always loved those guys, kinda like the cathedral builders of the animal kingdom. Clever little buggers.

after I half-kill a bug, I usually put it in front of the tv while fear factor is on. Welcome to hell, motherfucker.

It's true what they say about how keeping important things inside you for too long can only hurt you, and how getting them out in the open makes you feel better about yourself. I recently found out about this when taking a gigantic shit and staying over at the bathroom for another half hour just to fart. I set free every single fart I kept to myself because I was in public or something, and afterwards it was like I was a different person. The stomach cramps and noises I've been getting for months were gone, and I actually felt lighter. All because of one half hour farting session.
