The main voice actors on The Simpsons are paid $400,000 per episode.

In comparison, Charlie Sheen (the highest-paid sitcom star) only earns $350,000 an episode! The deal includes all the lead actors: Dan Castellaneta (Homer), Julie Kavner (Marge), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Yeardley Smith (Lisa), Hank Azaria (Moe), and Harry Shearer (Ned Flanders). Now in its 22nd season, The Simpsons is the longest running prime time entertainment series in U.S. history – 484 episodes and counting!

The Slave-Maker ant is a species of ants that enslaves other ants!

The whole process is really complex. The slave-maker queen fakes her own death and gets carried to the host colony. She then wakes up, and then kills and impersonates the queen. The fake queen will then start making her own offspring, who eventually take over the nest and enslave the previous inhabitants. The slave ants will unknowingly feed the fake queen and its offspring, not realizing that they are impostors.
