Owning an ant farm is a fascinating hobby and it’s particularly good for kids. It’s educational and fun too, and because it’s fun, the things that kids learn tend to stick. Many people have developed a lifelong interest in the natural world through owning a live animal as a child. So what could be better than an ant farm? They are clean, quiet and don’t need to be taken for walks when it’s raining! Because ants are social insects, they display a whole range of co-operative behaviours that we can learn a lot from.
Anybody with some experience on the subject?

I think in the Anything/Nothing thread there was some sort of keruffle over him. JR got him back but then someone stole Bobo from him. I kinda didn't read the whole thread. It's Realllly long. :)

lol some night when you're bored, I suggest you do.
Bobo pops up in so many threads though, thats why I'm having a hard time remembering. I stole him back from J-Ro in A&N, but then someone might have taken him back from me somewhere else.
I've heard rumors that he likes to travel Amsterdam though ;)

Where did Bobo originate from? Is he any relation to Koko?

hmm thats a really good question Mama.
I'm trying to think...I believe Al Z might have brought him into sleuth in the first place.
This is why we should have searchable message boards :)

Searchable message boards: that's ANTicipation about an advANTage to us all. So don't be too disenchANTed Sindy, board hijacking is fairly constANT and persistANT, but the remnANT of the original thread is there somewhere :D
and there's your link :D
