you think you've got vermin problems.....
A group of Buddhist monks in Malaysia is appealing for help to solve a problem with ants.
Buddhism forbids devotees from harming any living creature.
So the monks are looking for a creative and non-violent solution to deal with the insects, which are biting worshippers.
The monks at the Ang Hock Si Temple, also known as the Hong Hock See temple, in Georgetown on Penang Island have had to learn to live with nature.
Some years ago they shared their temple compound with a cobra.
The chief monk, the Venerable Boon Keng, told the BBC that they had become used to meditating alongside the snake but eventually decided to catch it and take it away to a nearby forest.
Now he says the cobra's place has been taken by a colony of fire ants.
But the ants are dropping from the temple's sacred bodhi tree onto people meditating below - and when they bite it causes painful swelling.
The Venerable Boon Keng practises what he calls "letting go" meditation - so he "lets go" of the pain.
But out of consideration for worshippers less far along the path to enlightenment the monks are looking for ways to persuade the ants to go.
An attempt to remove them using a vacuum cleaner failed, so the Buddhist community is appealing for help.
They cannot encourage anyone to harm the ants, but the chief monk says that if someone turns up unbidden and deals with them without the monks' involvement then that is the will of the universe.

Oh, and full-fat peanut butter is orgasmic. Palm oil, on the other hand, is verrah verrah bad for one's cardiovascular system. Soybean oil, however, isn't so bad.

Yes, and you were sporting a rather fine Miami Vice t-shirt I have fond memories of Chicago, even though we only had 2 days there and it has subway stations with the same name a mile apart from each other - bloody confusing that wasSINsister wrote:OT, @Androooooo S.: wasn't it exactly 1 year ago today that I had the lovely fortune of meeting you, Eva, and Spencer at the Sissies show here in town?

Iz, if I ever visit you at home, make sure your cat is in place when I leave. Absolutely great, the wee monster..

Quotes from the book:
Our garden was debated territory between five local cats, and we'd heard that the best way to keep other cats out of the garden was to have one yourself. A moment's rational thought here will spot the slight flaw in this reasoning.
-- (Terry Pratchett, The Unadulterated Cat)
Boot-faced cats aren't born but made, often because they've tried to outstare or occasionally rape a speeding car and have been repaired by a vet who just pulled all the bits together and stuck the stitches in where there was room.
-- (Terry Pratchett, The Unadulterated Cat)
Cats don't hunt seals. They would if they knew what they were and where to find them. But they don't, so that's all right.
-- (Terry Pratchett, The Unadulterated Cat)
It's an interesting fact that fewer than 17 % of Real cats end their lives with the same name they started with. Much family effort goes into selecting one at the start ("She looks like a Winnifred to me"), and the as the years roll by it suddenly finds itself being called Meepo or Ratbag.
-- (Terry Pratchett, The Unadulterated Cat)
Next comes the realist phase ("After all, from a purely geometrical point of view a cat is only a tube with a door at the top.").
-- Getting Real cats to take medication can be a problem (Terry Pratchett, The Unadulterated Cat)
Everyone's heard of Erwin Schrodinger's famous thought experiment. You put a cat in a box with a bottle of poison, which many people would suggest is about as far as you need to go.
-- (Terry Pratchett, The Unadulterated Cat)
Consider the situation. There you are, forehead like a set of balconies, worrying about the long-term effects of all this new 'fire' stuff on the environment, you're being chased and eaten by most of the planet's large animals, and suddenly tiny versions of one of the worst of them wanders into the cave and starts to purr.
