QuoteAn unexpected side-effect of the 2010 flooding in parts of Sindh, Pakistan, was that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters; because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water took so long to recede, many trees became cocooned in spiders webs. People in the area had never seen this phenomenon before, but they also reported that there were less mosquitos than they would have expected, given the amount of standing water that was left. Not being bitten by mosquitoes was one small blessing for people that had lost everything in the floods. (© Russell Watkins)

That's one of the fascinating things I've seen and read

Spiders are numero uno on my list of things I hate - so I think if I saw that I'd shtein my pants

How true. Once again we regress.

Excuse me dear sir, this 'regression' is a thread's right of passage into to club. We should be happy.

Not that I know anything about photography, but this slide show has some nice shots.

Some things I found interesting were how Hasselbeck grips a football, how the 49ers DT tackling Kolb fastens his helmet, how Jake Long needs to hold his fingers on and how he is looking at Ware like a cobra sizing up a rat. And damn, Bobbie Williams has turned into a pretty decent lineman since leaving the Eagles but he looks like swallowed a car. Hope Dawk's OK.
