Dear Rachel McAdams: Letter Sixty Four

Tuesday May 12, 2009

Dear Rachel,

I saw on your environment-loving website greenissexy.org that you recommend that when people have ants in their kitchens, they should squirt lemon juice all over everything and that this will make the ants go away. This has the advantage that you're not spraying deadly chemicals like Raid around your kitchen.

Is this what you do? I'm serious here, I can't really see Rachel McAdams with her millions of dollars and big houses with cleaning ladies that don't really speak English going around her kitchen and squeezing lemons at ants. I just don't see it.

In the Economist there was recently (within the past couple of months anyways) a pretty awesome article about ants. They communicate by emitting chemicals if I remember right, and there are like 6 of these chemicals so I guess there are only 6 things they can say. I imagine they say things like "food is over there" or "this guy's dead, move him" or "your turn to have sex with the queen".

Sincerely,

Nick Punto
