Interlibrary Loan of the day


Everyone knows that you're supposed to be nice to spiders, but Captain ILL has always had a hard time with that because they're so darned icky. It doesn't help that they're sometimes hairy and poisonous as well. The Captain has always gotten along pretty well with Spiderman, but that's probably because, even in costume, Spidey doesn't look anything like a spider. Actually, he looks more like one of those red, white, and blue popsicles, which aren't icky at all, but very yummy. Spiders is a pretty thin book, but it includes things like a spider menu, a spider face mask, and a giant pull-out poster full of giant icky spiders. If you like spiders, you'll want to check this book out, but if you're like Captain ILL and think spiders are icky, you might want to have a popsicle instead.

Unfortunately I only skimmed the book, so I can't provide a definite answer vis-a-vis squashed spiders and rain and a causal link between the two. However, I'm willing to take your grandma's word for it.
