this is seriously cool

if i was a kid i would want this pronto. developed by NASA to understand the development of animal life without gravity, the antquarium lets kids observe up to 15 ants as they tunnel through gel, which serves as a "highly nutritious ecosystem". the package comes with all the ants need to survive, and only needs to be opened briefly once a month. plus it looks slick. win win. click here for one of the many places that sells it.
