Scientists create freakish man-made monster ants with huge heads and jaws!

Nightmarish 'supersoldier' ants with huge heads and jaws have been created by activating ancient genes.

Scientists believe the monster ants may be a genetic throwback to an ancestor that lived millions of years ago.
Scientists say they can create the supersoldiers at will by dabbing normal ant larvae with a special hormone - the larvae then develop into supersoldiers rather than normal soldier or worker ants.

Stuart Mackenzie: Look at the size of that boy's heed.
Tony Giardino: Shhh!
Stuart Mackenzie: I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick.
Tony Giardino: Shhh, you're going to give the boy a complex.
Stuart Mackenzie: Well, that's a huge noggin. That's a virtual planetoid.
Tony Giardino: Shh!
Stuart Mackenzie: Has it's own weather system.
Tony Giardino: Sh, sh, shh.
Stuart Mackenzie: HEAD! MOVE!
 
So first we make killer bees, and now this. Are we actually trying to go extinct? I expect building-sized praying mantises will be next. 😛
 
But which one is the harder worker? Ants or Bees?

I smell a new thread coming on

I'm more concerned with who's the better fighter. Can you imagine a worldwide killer bee vs massive army ant war? Ants would probably win. They could invade bee hives whereas bees couldn't easily invade ant hills.

Hang on a sec...

Off course the American Acacia Ants will arrive 19hrs45 min later and claim victory.

Well, so at least we know there'll be a SyFy Friday night movie in a month.
Give them a week or so to write it, a couple days to film, and then a little time to wrap up in Post and advertise and whatnot.
