Spider Silk Cape Goes On Display

fangmcgee writes "Before anyone asks, no, it's not bulletproof. But that doesn't mean that the glistening yellow cape—the world's largest garment made entirely from spider silk—isn't a massive feat of engineering to be marveled. Now on public display for the first time at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the textile gets its unearthly gleam from the undyed filaments of the golden orb spider, a species of arachnid commonly found in Madagascar."

    Everybody Else Has Had More Sex Than Me - By TISM, for your enjoyment!

    Everyone else has had more sex than me

    ohhh ohhh

    Everyone else has had more sex than me

    ohhh ohhh

    Everyone else has had more sex than me

    Does anyone else get that feeling?

    Teenagers, naked, couples in threes;

    Grandparents swing from the ceiling;

    Everyone else has had more sex than me

    ohhh ohhh

    Everyone else has had more sex than me

    ohhh ohhh

    Corporate capers and office amour;

    Shenanigans outdoor and in

    Resist, and then later you find out there's more

    Regret in not doing the sin.

    All loves have to die - of that there's no help;

    My favourite way to end em'

    Is the orb-weaver spider's, whose pedipalp

    Enters the female pudendum,

    Then dies on the spot, his corpse there still stuck,

    Left for his rivals to curse it.

    He would rather die than not get to fuck:

    Personally, I reckon it's worth it
