I want to revive this thread. Everyone, please share your experiences about putting ants in the fridge to make them more copious.

Copious indicates a profoundly large number.
 
e.g. "I love prog for the copious number of notes in any given song, but much less for the copious number of hot girls who don't show up to prog concerts"

In that case I suppose the amount of ants inside the fridge increases and the amount of ants outside the fridge decreases.
 
Unless, of course, the fridge is not on and it is very cold outside the fridge.

Besides they are just insects and cruelty to insects is just fine.  I'd like to destroy them all.  Of course, then all plant life would die, followed by all animal life on the planet, but hey, it'd be worth it if I didn't have to deal with bugs. 
 
I'm starting to think that you may not be, in fact, a real doctor.   Nuke 
 
What was your first clue?  Wink

I believe they become more copious when you take them out of the fridge, which of course requires putting them in the fridge so they can be taken out, so the answer is YES, YES, YES!
(I know nothing about ants, nor have I ever heard the word 'copious').

By copious do you mean they have sex more? Because I believe putting them in a fridge will make them frigid...

HA HA HA HA HA! HAAAA HAAA...ha...

Sorry if this poll is too stupid, but I have a friend who has a terrarium with ants and he seriously argued that these twee, busy insects have to be put into a fridge because if they are not, they lose their copiousness. LOL

As I heard that I was laughing about 10 minutes or something because this was simply one of the most stupid things I have ever heard. Big smile

I simply can't believe it, but on the other hand I have never had any experiences with ants in my live, so who knows if he was still right (I hope someone who has a terrarium with ants either knows it)... Tongue

So, what do you guys think? Do ants become more copious when you put them into a fridge for some time?

By the way, my friend said that the vegetable cooler would be the best place to store the ants in the fridge... LOL

I think he is just off his rocker... Big smile

And by the way, wouldn't that be cruelty to animals?!

P.S.: Please don't ban me for this stupid poll... WinkTongue
