Dude, you sound paranoid. Are you smoking lots of pot?

I assume it's just a humor post.

That's fine, but at least be honest.

This is not Front Page News. The study that the above article refers to is very old (1995).

The results of the very real NASA study was first published in "NASA Tech Briefs", April 1995 Issue, in an article titled, "Using Spider-Web Patterns to Determine Toxicity", by Drs. R. J. Cronise, and R. A. Relwani. The New Yorker Magazine had a lot of fun with it at the time, claiming such things as, the results of the study had identified caffeine as the "human error drug".

I remember reading about it and thinking, "This is what our taxes are going for?!!!"

I'm normally a big supporter of NASA, but this one was way off base.

Thanks, AA.

Ok so I goofed and placed it on the front page. I had a can of coke that screwed up my thinking :)

Satisfied, Prime Choice?

2) Do not experiment with phosphorescent spiders

Sorry, but that concept is just too cool to pass up. Thanks for the idea...

That Coke will do it to you every time. But, if you think that you are wired, I just finished a double cappuccino. Now that's wired.

Excuse me, matey, I'm not "freaking out" about anything... merely pointing out that this is hardly "breaking news".

Like post 26 says, this thread hardly ranks as "breaking news". Unless you count stuff like Gulf War I as breaking news, that is.

Makes me wonder what the scientists were ''using'' when they thunk up this experiment.

What's wrong with it?

I agree- That is why I did not post it in breaking news.

Thankyou for backing me up on this one, A-A. I knew I'd seen it a long time ago... and yet the poster of the article accuses me of "freaking out".

"Freaking out" indeed... *ahem*, where I come from it's called "calling a spade a spade", or in this case, "calling old (and somewhat weird) research by it's true name - that is, NOT "Front Page News". Sheesh!
