No, thank you! I love any opportunity to share spood info, and orbweavers are amazing! The fact that they use their webs as giant ear drums (no seriously, watch the videos!) blew me away when I saw it.

And there’s so much I learned about spiders growing up that’s just plain wrong but still repeated, it’s exciting never knowing what new thing you’ll learn (or old misconception you’ll UNlearn) when you start looking into spiders and their behaviors.

OK I better shut up and leave before someone asks me about jumping spiders.

I do too.

Kid A makes all the ballfarts worth it.

It was always goofy. Pretty early on my partner got heavy into WoW while I got heavy into EQ2, and the “cartoony” art style and vibe of WoW was part of what made it unique.
