The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout. Down came the rain, and washed the spider out. Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain. And the itsy bitsy spider crawled up the spout again.

"Experts: Spider found at grocery likely not lethal"

"Local Mom: Neighbour seen at bake sale likely not Amelia Earhart."

Childs said Wednesday night that he destroyed the spider at the urging of a TU administrator...

This must be some more of that 'settled' science?

Ok, I can buy into the misidentification and destruction of the specimen... Today's educators aren't all that bright... What I don't understand is how the hundreds of news organizations/publications that ran with the story c/w torqued headlines, did so without first doing some basic fact checking.

On second thoughts... Today's educators groomed today's journalists... Puzzle solved...

You may say that this serious safety measure is part of the stimulus package. It masturbates the mind and causes excitement.
Think how much money was transferred by one spider. Think how much stimulation would be created by two spiders, positively an epidemic of major proportions.
If you want to generate some cash or get a project going, you only need to mention ‘safety’ as though in passing.
While working for a major Canadian corporation, if one wanted to get a project going, inclusion of safety, however peripheral, increased your chances at least 70%.

What do you bet they just squashed him with a fly swatter?

If they really need a spider carcass - I'll send them one. For a little extra, I'll even Krazy Glue it to a banana.

I recall a tv show where the speaker was talking about his first trip with a scientific expedition to antartica. As they neared the continent they began navigating some icebergs. A group of the scientists on deck saw birds on one of the bergs and a vigourous discussion ensued as to what type of penguins they were. Moments later they flew away.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
