I think I killed a medic. - Page 2

If you have trouble sleeping tonight, just imagine the second one was a rare species of "lawyer spider" that was running out to give the first spider his business card and a complimentary "So You've Been Injured: The Road To Recovery" accident victim handbook. Don't think of it as murdering a second innocent spider, think of it as saving years of litigation and a bank busting settlement.

This story, besides highlighting Rain Man's buggutlust, shines a light on the versitality of the oft forgotten and maligned form of media - the newpaper. Although the newsprint media has suffered from the competition of television and the internet, it will never be vanquished. Would Rain Man have killed the first spider with his television set? I think not. Would he have dispatched the second with his keyboard? Again, unlikely. Would he ever take either of the newer medias to the bathroom for a twenty minute session and come back both relieved and possessing a finished crossword puzzle? I don't think so.
So, hail the newspaper! It may not be the fastest form of information transfer, but it's transportability, and adaptablity to secondary uses is unparalleled/

Now that you mention it, my visceral reaction upon seeing the second spider was very similar to my reaction upon seeing a lawyer.

I think you are very brave.....people think they are good for us because they eat insects....no freaking way. They sit and stare at you for hours, not moving, just waiting for you to let down your guard and then they pounce...disgusting little creatures.

So you think they were setting up an ambush?
