The other day I saw a funny rock, thought it might be a geode. I picked it up and
underneath was a fire ant colony.
I saw hundreds of white eggs. As soon as the rock was removed, I saw what I
would have expected from a group of humans. 95% of them ran in any direction,
away from the scene of the end of the world. running in circles, in lines, in
figure -8's.
If they had human hands and human heads, they would have been clutching
their hair and screaming "oh God, why!? HELP!."
The other 5%, responded like the other 5% of humans would respond in a similar
situation. They immediately sprang into action, gathering the eggs and bringing
them below to safety.
They worked in a feverish pace, heroes. The other ants around, whose figure
-8's hadn't led them too far away from the scene, witnessed the heroic acts
and regained composure.
They decided pulled out of their panic-induced stupor and began to help.
So now they were 75% running around like chickens with their heads cut
off, and 25% gathering eggs.
They got the hundreds of eggs subterranean in under 45 seconds, I was
timing.
Once all the eggs were out of harm's way, they retreated as well and left the
other 75% of imbeciles to wear them selves out.
Last time I saw this type of response was the Boston Marathon bombing.
Just goes to show, a small percentage of any population is called to action
in an emergency situation and everybody else is called to panic and stupor.
Are you a hero or an idiot?
