Ants like water

Fluid mechanics engineers study similarities in the way ants and fluids act.  “"Due to their restlessness and curiosity, they flow … like a viscous liquid.”  (One of a several cool fluids videos from the Gallery of Fluid Motion.)

Hat tip Paul Hsieh at Geek Press, where he’s always able to find cool stuff like this.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
