discovery channel series showed frozen baby spiders up in the upper atmosphere. they come back down years later, and just thaw out. friggen incredible.

Difference between insects & spiders?

The spiders taste better.

well, they both do crunch about the same. I guess spiders are a little less runny

Now this is what I'm talkin' about!! Good old fashioned off topic talk that doesn't get people's panties in a bunch.

When I was a kid, I would pick up spiders and mess with 'em. I would set up 'homes' for them in big jars or boxes. Ever heard of "Writing Spiders"? I'll poke around the web and find a pic. Those suckers got big and were my favorite to catch.

Don, I'm offended at your use of the word "panties". This sort of rabid pro-underwear stance has no place on this board, and will not be tolerated.

Were Boris the Spider and The Spiders from Mars related?

damnit Todd, you beat me to it again! I still have a bone to pick however, as his use of the phrase "Good old fashioned" obviously makes him a hardcore right-winger. the nerve...

as for your question I'm not sure, but wasn't Karloff from Mars?

Just heard that spiders and geckos have thousands of hairs on their feet; more contact area relative to their body weight that enables them to walk upside down on ceilings and rapel into your pie hole at night.

Well, the spiders anyway. Not sure what the gecko's agenda is.

Todd, dude, I would NEVER assume that you wear any type of undergarments.

Be that as it may, I have to go out on the porch and whittle me a stick, get a 'chaw of t-bakker' and look down my nose at.... well.... something !

Good night now!
