ants in my head

Frankly? I was distractedThem
looking up Them!
a 1950s sci-fi film about gigantic irradiated ants
One thing that bugged me
the exclamation mark doesn’t appear on the poster
WHY?!
Imdb’s pretty quiet about that
although it has plenty of other stuff,
Plot Holes for example:
If food is scarce in the desert, then why did an ant merely kill Gramps Johnson and leave his body in the store, instead of taking it back to the colony to be eaten as had been the other three killed up to that point?
or:
During the first ant encounter, Dr Harold Medford tells the policemen to aim for its antennae, saying, “He’s helpless without them!” Later, he (correctly) explains that most ants are female, the rare males dying shortly after fertilizing the queen when a new nest is established.

so
anyway

      1. I’ve made a resolution (you’ll be pleased to hear / will snort in derision, delete as applicable…) I will not engage with any social media or get distracted by other writing projects until I have committed 1000 words towards the completion of the latest book (which actually isn’t that far off). So. The new me. Delay gratification.
        We’ll see….
