I for one am thankful that the creator of Spiderman did not make him too spider-like.

Some spiders still don’t spin elaborate webs. I see a lot of crab spiders in my back yard. Their hunting strategy is just to sit motionless in the middle of a flower and grab pollinators, which why they come in floral colours like yellow or white.

On a similar note, when the Covid vaccines were introduced in 2021, Facebook was full of people loudly proclaiming that there was no RNA in their bodies and never would be, because they weren’t gonna be “jabbed”.

It’s never crawled out of the fridge and come to wake you up for feeding at 5:00 a.m.?

So I no longer have to hire a sourdough sitter and give them a house key?

A trebuchet, but made with modern materials.

“Now with extra cancer!”

Ideally you want to be out in a rural area, far from city lights.

Same in Saskatoon. We seem to miss all the good night sky experiences.

My best aurora experience took place in August, oddly enough. It was a warm night, so I went out on the deck and laid on the chaise lounge, my big cat of the time flopped out on my chest. The moon was about 3/4 full and for some reason a small prop plane was circling overhead (there’s a flight school out at the airport, probably it was from there). Then I saw the ghostly curtain of an aurora to the north. Very poetic experience.

Didn’t someone do this with vampires a few years back? Pride And Prejudice And Vampires comes to mind.

This is only too true.

Something with a bad case of gas.

I used to live at 3300 feet. Cooking times increased slightly over what most recipes recommended, sometimes more baking powder was needed, but I don’t remember having to add more water.

Who is peeling onions in here?
