Ants

Okay, so this has nothing to do with politics, but it kind of disturbed me, so I thought I'd ask about it. In a nutshell, I was on the balcony watering the orchids a few hours ago, when I noticed I had a few ants. So I was looking at the ants and noticed that a large number of them were traveling in pairs. Almost connected head to tail. They didn't appear to be getting it on, but rather, this was the way they traveled. The thing is, I've never seen ants do this before. I've seen long trails of ants, sure. But just two ants connected - and there were numerous pairs of connected ants, so it wasn't just a fluke - that struck me as a bit odd. So I got out my camera and filmed it for you. If you really don't care, then overlook this post and I'm pretty sure we'll be ranting about Bill Clinton's latest outrage around 9 o'clock. But in the meantime, anybody know what the deal is with these ants?
