                 tainer". There issues from within their bodies a
                 drink of varying colours, wherein is healing
                 for men: verily in this is a Sign for those
                 who give thought. (Surat an-Nahl, 68-69)


                 Amazing Architects: Termites
                 No one can help being taken by sur-
            prise upon seeing a termite nest erected
            on the ground by termites. This is because
            the termite nests are architectural wonders
            that rise up as high as 5-6 meters. Within this
            nest are sophisticated systems to meet all the
            needs of termites that can never appear in sunlight be-
            cause of their body structure. In the nest, there are ventilation systems,
            canals, larva rooms, corridors, special fungus production yards, safety exits,
            rooms for hot and cold weather; in brief, everything. What is more astonish-
            ing is that the termites which construct these wondrous nests are blind. 188
                 Despite this fact, we see, when we compare the size of a termite and its
            nest, that termites successfully overcome an architectural project by far 300
            times bigger than themselves.
                           Termites have yet another amazing characteristic: if we di-
                                vide a termite nest into two in the first stages of its
                                  construction, and then reunite it after a certain
                                    while, we will see that all passage-ways, canals
                                     and roads intersect with each other. Termites
                                 carry on with their task as if they were never sepa-
                                  rated from each other and ordained from a single
                                  place.



                                 The Woodpecker
                                     Everyone knows that woodpeckers build their
                                 nests by pecking tree trunks. The point many people
                                 do not consider is how woodpeckers undergo no
                               brain haemorrhage when they so strongly tattoo with
                               their head. What the woodpecker does is in a way simi-
                              lar to a human driving a nail in the wall with his head. If
