THE trap-door ant - faster then Gordon Brown at a banquet:
It is the speeding bullet of the natural world. The trap-jaw ant snaps shut its mandibles at speeds of 35 to 64 metres per second, about 2300 times faster than the blink of an eye.

Hysterical!
Pretty fast but ……
But not as quick as the man/gang who abducted a kid last year by drugging her and her siblings, making beds, tossing toys around, closing/opening doors, windows, shutters and cleaning up after themselves and then driving off in a car/truck to somewhere so remote that it’s not even be charted on a fucking map yet!
That’s fucking quick - with only a two minute window of opportunity to plan it and get away with it.

Several theories have been put forward over the years on what is the fastest thing known to man.
The blink of an eye had for many years been used as a standard for speed.
Lightning has always been up there as fast and with the coming of manmade electricity and an understanding of the way it works it was thought to be almost instantaneous. A flick of the switch at one end of a room and a light comes on in the middle.
Personal experience tells me that diarrhoea is the fastest thing known to man
I had eight pints of Fosters and a monster balti last night.
I woke up at about 4 AM this morning and before I could wink, blink or put the light on I had sh*t myself
Q.E.D.
