When ants die, a few days later they emit oleic acid, which tells the living ants to dispose of their corpse.
A myrmecologist named Ed Wilson discovered this and dropped the chemical on a living ant. It was immediately carried off, despite the fact that it was still moving, and clearly not dead.
Honestly, Rick Rolling is the best practical joke ever. Like, there’s nothing offensive or mean spirited about it. It’s just like “Oops you thought there would be something else here but it’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’.” which isn’t even a bad song. It’s fairly enjoyable to listen to. There’s no jumpscares, no screaming, no ill will. Just Rick Astley telling you he’s never going to give you up. I think that’s great. “You fell into my trap! Here, listen to this completely benign song that will have no negative effect on you.”
Dubbed the death watch, the Tikker apparently calculates a person’s life expectancy - and even counts down to the time they will die. The top row of the watch’s digital display shows years, months and days, while the second row counts down hours, minutes and seconds.The bottom row shows the local time.
To set up Tikker, the wearer fills out a questionnaire by entering information about their medical history, including allergies or illnesses.They are also asked whether they drink or smoke and if there are any instances of cancer, diabetes and other diseases in their family.
Wearers are additionally asked about how much exercise they do, as well as how much they weigh before receiving a score. Their age is deducted from the results to predict a death date and the Tikker - which also works as a regular watch - begins the countdown. The gadget is available to buy online £49.99. (Source)
