awild | January 21, 2009I know you're terribly bored with ants, ants, ants all the time here at Myrmecos Blog. So that's why we're bringing you something different. It's an ad from the 60's letting you know about an exciting new product for putting on a few pounds:
For some reason it was lying around the entomology office this morning. Entomology leads to emaciation? Thin people don't attract enough insects? I can't figure it.
