Spider Runs Amuck on Space Station

[exfileme]

A spider is running amuck aboard the International Space Station although NASA denies any arachnid wrongdoings.

Those spiders were running amuck all over in Dead Space too!

Mutated spiders thanks to NASA.

Amuck? Amok? This word you keep using, I do not think it means what you think it means...

LMAO! Love the title to this.

How do you know if the spider is really running around mad or not? He's trying to spin a web, and it isn't coming out right. He's probably gone mad with rage over his frustration that his web isn't as beautiful as it should be....

How else did the spider break out of his cage?

Maybe the female spider blamed her husband for the f'd up webs and ate him.

that is genius... I'd like to second this theory.

 

[JonnyDough]

My second theory would be that the spider was tired of being observed like some sort of arachnoid specimen (his name was Charles dammit!) by snot nosed kids from a now distance planet. Upon committing suicide he was tossed into the latrine by his spider wife (Sofia) so that he would be washed out into space via the latrine ejection portal, per his wishes - which he made clear in his last, seemingly entangled suicidal web spun. It is possible that his suicide note of a web is indeed, a farewell 3D masterpiece.

I can't read spider web, can you? You would think if anyone could, rocket scientists would be able to. Perhaps once the "experiment" is brought home for analysis, the true story of the spider's humiliation and last moments will be unraveled from a raveled 3D web.

EDIT: distant. Edit button PLEASE. At least give us a "one time" edit button? Even with the preview function, it sure would be nice.

 

[JonnyDough]

Actually, I have an even BETTER idea.

Why not have a "this has been edited" notation beside edited posts, and then keep the original post viewable through a button beside that? None of that would require much room, but it would allow us to fix our typos without changing what we originally said. Now I'm thinking. Keep the "you can edit this once" idea though. I like that.

Everyone gets ONE edit, and the original post is saved and viewable via a button.

Spiders are not insects.

Well, few people can tell the difference let along what an Arthropod is.

It's Tom's, you can't really expect professional journalism here. I don't know why anyone expects to. These comments are censored and moderators n friends rate the posts as well. There's a reason there are so many people complaining here on Tom's all the time...
