    The world is a really interesting place. I would have never guessed that there are people out there that shave ants.

      It’s probably just the one guy. He probably only spent a total of 100 hours doing it so he’s not even an expert.

        The average person has shaved one ant, but only because Dr. Ant-Shaver Willot has shaved 7 Billion ants and therefore he should be dismissed as a statistical outlier.

          “average person shaves 3 ants per year” factoid actualy just statistical error, average person shaves 0 ants per year. Ants Georg, who lives in cave & shaves 10,000 per day is an outlier adn should not have been counted

            I think I did pretty well reciting it from memory and swapping out the details.
