Couldn't possibly divulge that just yet, more research needed. Wink

If I can help by entering the fridge again, I'd be happy to.

Having given this idea a couple of seconds thought... I don't think that would be advisable since it would increase your copiousness by a power of 2, (ie 738 342 096 843²), leading to such extreme levels of copiousness that would render you a danger to yourself and others.

Here's a thought:

What if you put the ants in the fridge, and then put the fridge in another fridge?

(Does a fridge become more copious if you put it in a fridge?)

Do ants become less copious when you take them out of the fridge? If so, what's the point?

This is indeed the case, but there's a solution:

1. Put the ants in the fridge.
2. Wait for them to become more copious.
3. Instead of taking them out the fridge (which would make them less copious) take the fridge away from around them.

Now you have copious ants with no fridge around them!

What if the ants were wearing pants?

Pants don't become more copious in the fridge, so we must assume that after the ants have become more copious some of them are wearing pants and some of them are not. This is, of course, a major problem because it may be that the ants with pants don't accept the ants without pants in their social group and the pantless ants are left panting on the very edges of the ant society.

Can you really take the risk of pissing of the ants to that extent? Of course ants don't actually piss as far as I know but we have non native fire ants around here that will swarm and sting the beejeusus out of you if you are unfortunate enough to step on one of their nests.  They are unwelcome immigrants from South America.  Not trying to disparage immigrants from that area or anything...

It goes without saying that one ought to wear a piss-resistant dress when one tries to make non-native fire ants more copious. The same goes for immigrants as well, but who would want to make immigrants more copious?

Those uniforms look kind of gay, and not in a good way.

The utility belt is ok, but it doesn't cover enough of the uniform. Maybe there could be a robe or something on top of uniform?

I think it's once again time to take this thread "out of the fridge". I've conducted some new experiments, not on ants but on milk cartons, and I've come to the conclusion that the fridge not only makes milk cartons more copious, but also affects the milk inside them, changing it's composition in a fundamental way. If the same thing happens to ants - and I have every reason to believe that it does - fridges can indeed be used to develop brand new races of ants, some of which are highly likely to turn out strong enough to take over the world sooner or later. Smile
