Greenwald interview: NSA cannot break the code on Miranda's thumb drives.

145. That doesn't look like a red imported fire ant hill.

Red imported fire ant hills aren't very tall on the surface, but go deep into the ground.

Also, I would advise anyone not to try to sit on one, or even stand on one. I stood near one for too long and learned I can strip nekked in the yard and put an ice cube directly on my skin and still feel like I was on fire with the fires of hell, lol.

Red imported fire ants don't play. They mean business when they bite and sting, which is what they do. They bite first to hold on, then sting and hang on so they can continue to pump venom as long as it takes to make you know you got to close to their colony. They are vicious little shits. I have zillions of them in the yard.

P.S. Thank you for this informative sub-thread. I have learned a lot reading it. There is still a lot I don't know, but wow, this thread was great reading.
