Whenever you hear one of these stories and you suspect it might be an urban

legend, you can check it out by going to one of several urban legend

websites (or even doing a Google search for something like " ants in

brain " )...

Here's a link to one regarding the ant story...

There are a lot of crazy and bizarre things that really DO happen in the

world... nothing surprises me, really, so I always like to check these

stories out. Knowing the facts can give you some peace of mind, and give

you one less thing to worry about!
