Fox network seeks to answer that question this Wednesday evening with
their presentation "Reign of Fire: Killer Ants". Tonight while
watching King of the Hill -- a show that features many Texans -- we
saw a number of ads for this decidedly low-tech, low brow thriller.
I can hardly wait!
I don't know whether it features thighs but it did include a shot of
ants carrying a finger.
