Amazing. That kid is awesome.

That kid died.

So is there any amount of cash you'd do this for?

an Amazon tribes’ coming-of-age ritual: Bullet Ant gloves! Where the toxins released by the ants generates the worst pain a human is capable of experiencing.

That guy overreacted a bit, no?

You should let those ants bite you and show him how it's done.

Ha. I was kidding. That doesn't look pleasant at all. We should use those ants to torture terrorists.

I'm not completely down with it being the worst pain a human is capable of experiencing, but it looks pretty damn painful. The pain apparently persists for 24 hours or so, and the ants release a toxin when they sting causing the other ants to also sting. As part of their manning-up ritual the village males are meant to do that with the gloves on their hands for 10 minutes......and they have to do this 7 times over the period of a few months to a few years...

The first (non-musical) part of this video is tremendous. I think someone had watched Purple Rain recently. Awesomeness!

If I remember correctly, 2005 had us in the middle of a shitty drought. We lived in a normally green/lush area, but everything was dry as fuck. It lasted a few years, and culminated in one of the worst bushfires we'd seen in Australia, that killed about 170 people and wiped out an entire town. Fuck the earth, let's pollute the shit out of it. It deserves it.
