    I understand that the situation is much worse in the Ant-ipodes

    I can't hardly believe you don't have some of these on board, being from Canada and all.

    Which begs another question. Since ants are so strong, How many ants would it take to lift the boat?

    Depending on the site/facts you visit, it says 3X, 10X, 50X their own weight.

    hold on there, dont ants contribute to green house gases? They give off methane if I recall. You will have to buy green credits and pay a tax to have so many ants on your boat. That will sink the boat for sure.

    You can fuel the boat with ant farts. :)
