Ouch! Watch out all you Celts! I heard some South American Indians tribes use bullet ants to test the of courage of teens who are being intiated into manhood! They basically put the ants to sleep and then hold the end of the ants' buts, where the stinger is, inside a mitten made of weaving plant fiber together. Now, the reason they called them bullet ants is because being stung by one of these is describe by many people as being shot by a gun. It will put you in the hospital, and these kids are supposed to put there hand in the mitten for 5 minutes with 50 or more of the ants' stinging them. These aren't fully mature kids either! In Thailand's history there are several chapters that tells of how villagers, who were overwhelmingly outnumbered by the invading Burmese army, that fought the Burmese until there were none left alive! They didn't want the children to be captured by them so they poisoned them, then go out to the battle. There must be, at the most, a couple thousand villagers against 20, 000 to 30, 000 Burmese soldiers! All fought the brave fight, the men, women, and even old people! Yes, Thai people got balls! [laugh!]
