Katie and I were picnicing on the shores of the Shenadoah River, just below the Georgia state line, one hot, sunny August afternoon almost three years ago today. We feasted ourselves on cold roasted chicken, macaroni salad, and bread pudding all washed down with cold apple cider, and afterwards, we decided to take a short dip to cool ourselves from the hot Florida Panhandle sun.

Katie saw what she thought was a 12" competition-style Frisbee passing by innocently in the water, and before I had time to warn her she reached out to grab the floating disc only to be instantly swarmed by thousands of vicious fire ants. The ball of death completely consumed her sweet little body in a matter of seconds, and I could only watch helplessly as I watched her skeleton sink into the muddy waters below.

Thanks a lot you bastards for bringing this up today, I thought I had repressed that horrible image of Katie's death forever.

Sounds like she got OWNED.
Nice story though.

This thread stirred an interest, and I searched for floating ant balls on Google.

I found this page, with the exact same story as above.

Occasionally ants migrate in the rainforests in South America...imagine a line of millions of ants killing and eating everything in their path

Those little fuckers can cause alot of destruction.

you had to find it somewhere else on the internet to realise it was bullshit?

com3 · 09-06-2004, 03:34 AM

random fact:

an ant will live underwater for about 2 weeks before it drowns.

No. I knew it was bullshit. I was just looking for more pics of floating ant balls and came across that same story again. It just baffles me that people have this kinda time.

Joesho · 09-06-2004, 09:23 AM

Fuck the ants, I want to know about all the snakes, what happened to them? anybody get bitten yet?

Red Ezra · 07-10-2005, 01:36 PM

what about the floating balls of cottonmouth snakes? I always worried about that when I swam in the river - scary shit and that is very real problem too.

Napolean · 07-10-2005, 01:45 PM

floating balls of alligators would be scary too

Doctor Dre · 07-10-2005, 01:47 PM

What the heck? I've never heard of such a thing

Scary

bllott · 07-10-2005, 01:59 PM

"If detergent is sprayed on and around the mass of ants, the surface tension of the water is weakened to the point that the entire mass sinks and drowns."

hence carry detergent on you, if you get some on you, put it on yourself and you'll be ok

Steve · 07-10-2005, 02:01 PM

I hate those little fucking bastards

Fire ants = no joke. Very dangerous!

blackfeet · 08-28-2005, 08:31 PM

i saw ants carry off a dead fly yesterday.

Linkster · 08-28-2005, 08:35 PM

I would say the biggest danger would be the snakes and alligators coming in from the swamps right outside the city - if the lake really goes over the levee they'll be everywhere
Although Ive never found a cottonmouth to be aggressive - they usually never strike unless you walk on them and the families of them I have on my property usually slither off the other direction when Im out bush-hogging and the alligators just sink their heads below water.

shit, I thought you meant Anthony's balls...

This thread caught my eye because I noticed several clusters of live ants in my pool a few nights ago. It was freaky... Then I put 2 and 2 together... "Ah! Protein"
(I don't think I will be having any more sex parties in my pool for a while ;-)

Meorazhar · 08-29-2005, 12:25 AM

Shit, this is way too scary.. Great that we don't have those little bastards here
