Ants in your pants and spiders in your hole.
I was talking to Leo. He said you hardly stop moving.
I kind of figured as much.

Never knew owls spun webs.

You know they're putting spider DNA in goats so they can milk them for silk?

The world Will be a crazy place when we harness the strength of spider webs.

But they'll use it for war instead of building earthquake/tornado proof homes...

Ah well...

Hey,

Asking as more of a lesson to me, than criticism to you @sorce .
That short branch that has been chopped, right at top of the trunk, the top trunk chop. Shouldn't that branch have been left uncut, to act as a new leader?
Or am I right in thinking you potentially don't need or want a new leader because the trunk thickness is already good and don't need further?
Although I'm sure there's more a new leader does than simply trunk thickening...

I had to chop eveything down last fall to hide them from my landlord.
With the growing tip gone, I decided to chop it all the way, maybe for direction, maybe for division.
Dunno cuz this thing is kind of a Bitch the way it grows.

So the only lesson here...
Don't buy a dog that leads to pissing off the landlord that leads to them hating on your trees that leads to moving in with the in-laws that leads to Wyoming or New Zealand or some other shit-hole around here if I can't get my shit together....
Blah...blah...blah!

They are researching new ways to use spider venom as new pain killer drugs too. They are suppose to be more effective and have less side effects.

Fair enough. Slightly unexpected reply to that question lol. Here I was expecting some masterful strategy and trick, but it's cos of your landlord...
The branch will still help the wound heal at least, so you got that going for you :).

I can imagine that..

"Doctor I'm in a lot of pain in my leg, please help!"

"Ok here" *throws spider at him*

"Ah crap! It bit me! Holy crap, that hurts, my leg is paralysed, I can't walk, ahhh!"

"So, I've a form to fill out here, your leg is no longer painful, is that correct?"

Spiderwire. 10 times the tensile strength of steel. About the same as spider silk.

"Do you use copper or aluminium?"
