Pull my antenna

I'm watching all the science shows I've got collected on Tivo and am thinking that waterwings and sunscreen will be in high demand in the future, and if I want to see any snow/ice on Alaska, I'd better get my butt up there soon. But the really depressing thing is that according to one PBS program, there are 3/4 ton of termites for each person on Earth. And the methane they produce will also help screw up our atmosphere. Termite farts will help destroy our civilization. Great, just great....

Termite farts will help destroy our civilization.

Have you noticed a strange odor around your house lately?

Why am I getting visions of termite families: "Mom, Johhny farted, ewww!" I did not!" "Yes you did! It's disgusting!" "Now, kids...."

Perhaps the ones that couldn't stand all the farting are the ones that were trying to leave the house? Termite guy said when the colonies get big enough, the queen allows about 70 to swarm off to start anew. Maybe it's really that these guys are the prissy termites who can't stand the smell anymore. A new theory for the entomologists to ponder.
