"A 3.5-ounce serving of red ants supplies about 14 grams of protein, according to the National Geographic website. The same serving of red ants also supplies 6 milligrams of iron, which is 71 percent of the 8 milligrams men need each day and about one-third of the 18 milligrams women require on a daily basis. Ants are also a good source of calcium."

There's another corpse decomposing in the tiny room under the steps to the street. This one is really on the up-curve in the world of pong.

I wonder if a Doomsday Mouse cult invaded our house when we were away last week?
