Handling a Female Black Widow Spider (Latrodectus mactans)

January 16, 2012

Handling a Female Black Widow Spider (Latrodectus mactans) A few words of caution: although spiders rarely bite unless startled, agitated, or trapped against skin – I would advise against handling this species unless familiar with handling arachnids due to the sheer toxicity of the venom. Let them crawl on to you and move about carefully. In short – be careful with them, and they should be careful with you. Hopefully. Found in Oklahoma around New Years. Filmed with both a Pentax K-x (sharper footage) and a little Canon a720is (lower-res footage). From: terser Views: 50025 123 ratings Time: 02:08 More in Pets & Animals

Efficiency

March 26, 2011

The efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution. “You don’t want to try these techniques at home.”. “Why not?” asked somebody from the audience.. “I watched my wife’s routine at breakfast for years,” the expert explained. “She made lots of trips between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying a single item at a time. One day I told her, ‘Hon, why don’t you try carrying several things at once?’” “Did it save time?” the guy in the audience asked. “Actually, yes,” replied the expert. “It used to take her 20 minutes to make breakfast. Now I do it in seven.” (via Wulfweard the White ) Comic by Steve Langille. See more of his work at Strange Breed .
