The natives’ name for the large, elusive spider living in the deepest parts of the jungle was translated into Latin as arachnid pachydermus, but scientists had never seen it, until now, and assumed it fed on insects and small rodents.
I guess I, too, am one of the old tottering folks who immediately thought of the sinatra song…..
but if you are younger than sixty and still relate…..well, cool!
MIstletoad, I’m still in my 40s and know that song. I think I even saw the movie a long time ago from whence that came. “Hole in the Head” was very sad, as I remember. I saw the movie just because I knew the song was in it and was curious to see how it fit in.

@ Dutchboy1, that is dust kicked up from a stampede or morning jog. I don’t think anyone credit’s Mr. Hilburn as a great artist. Just a funny one.

Scott; I don’t think there is that much “POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING” in the world! But there’s a LOT of “try” in that little spider!
