So, people who have read the God picture (we think) thread will know that Nika's scanner's broken. So she came over to my house to scan some things. This is what we saw when we opened the scanner.



Nika & I:

Anyone think it would still work? I don't want to try cause it'd be a pity to kill them and have the scanner still stuffed up. Still get to see Nika's stuff though, cause we photographed it with a digital camera instead

(Sorry for stretching the forum, I'll go make it smaller if it really bugs anyone. Err... no pun intended.)

It was seriously hilarious. There was not a quiet mouth in the house!

I overuse the emotion.

Good lords how did that happen?!

I have absolutely no idea... Seriously. We don't use the scanner much (As you may have guessed) And I kinda noticed a few ants wandering around the area where the computers are, but no one in the family noticed until today!

Hmm, can I say eww?

Looks like you have yourself a homemade ant farm!

0_o Are they all ALIVE? What the heck are they living in THERE for? Or are they all dead like those retarded thunderbugs that come and jump inside picture frames every friggin' summer?

Oh yes, they're alive... At least for the moment. *whine* Everyone else I've told seems to think it's disgusting, I just think it's hilarious . I do wonder what they're eating in there though... I think they must be getting outside the house somehow to find food.

Have you, like, checked INSIDE it? If they're alive, and so many are there, they might have like a whole friggin' nest there. 0_o Might even be a giant queen ant living in your scanner!

Yep, it is a nest *snicker* There are a few really big ones in there (You can see one in the middle of the photo if you squint hard enough) which we thought might be queens or something, but who ever heard of an ants nest with more than one queen? Other than that we can't see one... So I'm not sure if it's the whole nest in there or jsut part of one or something. There isn't much more scanner to be inside though, it's pretty hollow from what I can see .

Hah. Well, that kinda sucks. Anyway, why'd you need to use the scanner, if you have a digital camera in what is probably better quality to update to your computer with? Since you obviously got that scanner shot from SOMEWHERE...

*shrug* We got the scanner before we got the digital camera, and I don't think it occurred to any of us to use the camera as a scanner before now . It's a very good point though...

Pfff, then you have to play with the levels and contrast if you want anything to look the same as it did on paper, which is a real bother..

Besides, I don't have a digital camera.

So how did you get the picture of the scanner with the ants in onto a computer? You must have done it somehow.

Shoshana's digital camera! Silly.

...I figured. What's to stop you using that instead then?

I DID after we discovered the ants!

*wail*

OH..MY GOD.

Let me wait for my heart to stop pounding before I go on.

If I saw that, I would probably pass out or something. That's really scary. ...akldfsjlsdakfj *shiver*.

But yeah, that's gross, have you fixed it yet?

Oh god that is awesome

Hehe, I think it's kind of beyond fixing. We don't need it anyway seeing as we have the digital camera now (As Shiri kindly pointed out).

I want to keep them! I've got a friend who's a middleschool teacher, figured she could take it to show her class instead of them having an antfarm or something

Probably should have warned people in case they had a phobia of ants or something, sorry Veonira... but they are just ants afterall, pretty harmless (We don't get very nasty bitey ones here).
