Spider Missing After Trip To Space Station
Garabito writes "A spider that had been sent to the International Space Station for a school science program was lost. Two arachnids were sent in order to know if spiders can survive and make webs in space, but now only one spider can be seen in the container. NASA isn't sure where the other spider could have gone. I, for one, welcome our new arachnid overlords."

If I were those astronauts, I'd be hoping the spider bites me.

Lost.
That's what the other spider claims, anyway. In other news, that spider just submitted a replacement for ReiserFS.

It's not really missing. It's just busy working on a collaboration with David Bowie.

That's why Heidi let the bag go yesterday. I know my wife runs out of the room screaming when she sees a spider.

They quoted a NASA official as saying that just because we can't see it doesn't mean it isn't in the box, we haven't opened the box to verify it.
Schrödinger's spider?
Because for every spider we send to space, that's one less left here on earth trying to eat us.
The only reason that THC is illegal and caffeine is legal is because Big Caffeine is so powerful. Fuckin' JFK killed in Dallas, same place Starbucks started. Makes you think, don't it?
Don't bogart that thing, man. Pass it over here.

So we've got a spider with 8 arms, a bag of sophisticated tools, and a good source of mutagenic cosmic radiation. I don't like the look of this.
Why haven't we seen this effect on humans yet?
I was going to make a joke about how we had, and the Columbia disaster was actually a deliberate destruction so the public wouldn't realize NASA's cannibalism problem when only half the crew came back. But then I thought "Naw, too soon." But then I thought "Aw, what the hell."

Actually youve probably eaten more spiders than spiders have eaten you.
so far
You're right, that was very insensitive of me. I'm sorry if I offended you. Now to smooth things over with the healing power of laughter, here are some cannibal astronaut jokes.
Q: What do you call an astronaut that leaves the ship without a space suit?
A: Frozen dinner.
Q: Why was the astronaut afraid to go back in the shuttle when she lost her tool bag?
A: She didn't want to get chewed out.
Q: Why were the astronauts upset when NASA invented a red wine equivalent of Tang?
A: Because everyone knows red wines don't go with white meat.
Ah, that was cathartic. I feel much better. You?
