*lying

good for you for trying to correct that.  considering 99.9% of americans, including fucking television news anchors and journalists, don’t understand the difference between lie and lay I usually just throw my hands up and move on.  but it still bothers me every time.

Okay that is weird. Been married for 20. I’ve never said that exact thing and lay lie until about a week ago. But it was people in general not TV. My Mom was an English teacher.

That’s gotta be one of the shortest career paths. What’s the average lifespan after taking up that gig?  1 year?  If that?

That train treats that car carrier like a Tinkertoy. I'll repeat a story -- I was on the Amtrak from Austin to Dallas when we hit a 12-wheel truck stalled on the tracks. We didn't feel as much as a bump. We didn't know what had happened until the train stopped a ways down the track and then we went to the back of the train to see what had happened. Guy in the truck was of course killed instantly. Trains have so much damn power -- don't ever fuck around with them.

Fuckin' driving school truckers. There was all kinds of shit he could have done to get off the track besides talking on the phone. Raise the suspension, put blocks under the drive axles to lift backing up, and if all else fails pull the pin and drop the trailer to save the truck.

Researchers have discovered what could be the world’s largest known spider’s web, an arachnid “megacity” teeming with tens of thousands of the creatures in a cave on the Albania-Greece border.

The newly discovered web is a massive structure spanning 100 square metres and is home to a colony of around 69,000 domestic house spiders, also known as the barn funnel weaver or Tegenaria domestica, and 42,000 Prinerigone vagans, a species of sheet weaver spider.

Social spiders are known to make communal webs that may host thousands of them, and finding a giant web structure inhabited by an otherwise solitary species is already quite rare. But never before had researchers documented a cooperative web woven by individuals belonging to multiple different species.
