"The response is either panic or "COOL!" "

So, in discussing phobias today, Arachnophobia was brought up.

And, in addition to that, we discussed the Goliath bird-eating spider.



First of all, with a name like that, you know it has to be something pretty crazy.

This spider can have a leg span of up to 12 INCHES. And it eats birds. Holy crap. Good thing I'm not arachnophobic. Sorry if you are and you just read this.

That Guy at the restaurant

I can totally see T-Rex being That Guy at the restaurant. The whole thing makes me go "awwwwwww..."...then give a guilty giggle at T-Rex's total working of the situation, like I'm in on the whole thing.

FreeRice

"Free Rice"...an online "game" where, by improving your vocabulary, rice is donated to the United Nations World Food Program.

My "is this legit?" radar went up, but upon checking, it seems to be! It's linked on the main WFP site, it's been blogged about and reported on...so go learn some new words and donate some (free) rice!
