Okay, my mate, Simon, a cool guy and he is quite well off. (Money wise) and he's always buying stuff from www.thinkgeek.com (http://www.thinkgeek.com) and over the past year he's accumilated so many reward points (Geek points) That he's decided to use them on me! (YAY) So I get a few nice things from there! I'm such a geek but these rawk. xD

Fascinating creatures ants. Sure you hate to see them in your socks or making a B-line for that pizza crust crumb you forgot to sweep up at the local LAN party. But let's give credit where credit is due. Ants are amazing. Ants can lift up to 20x their body weight! They have two stomachs and three eyes! They also have uncanny communication skills and amazing abilities to work together to achieve a common goal. This miraculous gel, derived from a NASA Space experiment, serves as both habitat and nutrition for your ants - allowing you to watch in awe as they turn a brick of aqua-blue gel into a fascinating colony of tunnels. Never before have you been so capable of watching these awesome creatures at work.


Consider Ants a pest? Think again. As Sun Tzu stated, 'Know Thy Enemy'. And what better way to know them then in this totally enclosed space age aquarium. Ants are perhaps the most populous creatures on the face of planet earth, with at least ten thousand species and countless trillions of individual ants. Bring them indoors today with Antworks!

AntWorks is based on a 2003 NASA Space Shuttle experiment to study animal life in space and test how ants successfully tunnel in microgravity.
The AntWorks Gel (Non Toxic) is complete with nutrients to promote healthy growth in the new colony.
Watch ants live, work and tunnel in the nutritious and non-toxic gel as they create series upon series of intricate tunnels.
Easy to care for - Ants need NO food or water.
Case is 6.5"x 5.5"x 1.25"Each 'Antworks' Includes:
Case and gel
Magnifying glass
Ant catching/tunnel starting tool
Instruction booklet with interesting facts about ants.
ANTS ARE NOT INCLUDED! However, there is a form included where you can order some ants for delivery via mail. But why bother? Just set out some potato chips in the kitchen and voila! Instant ant colony!Second item

It's true. Triops have been around for a bajillion years. They have survived unchanged due to a very special adaptation called “diapause.” When their ponds dried up, the Triops' eggs went into a state of suspended animation until the ponds filled again.
Triops look like a cross between a horseshoe crab and a facehugger (look out Sigourney!), and can grow to be up to 2” long. Oh yeah, and THEY HAVE 3 EYES!! You'll have a very unique conversation starter on your desk. And since Triops hatch in about 24 hours and almost double in size daily, expect your desk to be the center of the office as your co-workers stop by frequently to see how the Triops are doing. Go crazy, name the Triops after your co-workers. We did! And don't worry - these Triops are grown on special farms; you're not harming any ecosystems by growing an army of desk aliens.

In a way, yes. The triops grew and grew, lived out their life expectancy and I havn't got anymore eggs.
The Ants died because I recieved the package with them in, in winter. So they mustve been cold hence why they huddled. I have another order form for them too.

You can? But it's in Dollars? K I'm confused now.

Biseinen

Because it's an American site, it just converts it through the current cost from Dollars to GBP and then takes it out of your account.

So say you bought the ant thing + The LCD light thing, + The plant thing, that would be:

55.97 USD United States Dollars = 32.1252 GBP United Kingdom Pounds
