Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

Can someone invent an app that erases or blocks the name 'Kardashian' on the internet, or each browser?

And from the TV , while they are at it. Strangely to me, there seem to be plenty of people interested in knowing about them and about their daily lives.

No idea about Tunisian Arabic, but Om, I bought a car a week ago. As part of the process the sales guy showed me how to link my phone to the car. I have no idea why I might need this particular feature.

For some reason my car immediately decided to call you. I don't think the call went through -- I was laughing hysterically saying, "no my car shouldn't call Om!" and the sales guy was certain I was nuts and was probably wondering if the check would bounce -- but if you got a call from a Subaru...yeah that was me.

Makes up for the time your butt called me.

Ah! Hahahahahaha!

I know you don't believe in psychic mumbo jumbo, but I think it's funny how we joined PF within a 48 hours of each other, and the universe is still trying to keep us in touch.

There's a huge spider in my window. About 8 inches diameter I would approximate. I'm sleepy, but I ain't closing my eyes no matter what. ~7 hours until the sun comes out. ~7 hours I must not close my eyes.

EDIT: Either that or I go out to kill it. But I dare not take such a mission. It's been raining a lot and I bet there are other fouler creatures than spiders, that got their nests flooded, waiting for me on the outside.

Don't try this at home. Leave this sort of thing to professional physicists!

A physicist ties himself to the side of a building then went plunging toward the Earth . . . .

Send him to me, I really want a tarantula!

"The Impactor" would be much better than "The Impact," yes. I was pondering why the latter sounds so awkward when applied to a person and haven't sorted it out yet.

I think it's valid syntax. I think the discomfort is because an impact is an event, something at a point in time. An impactor or a destroyer is an entity with some kind of extent in time. It makes sense to draw a parallel between a person and another entity, but not so much between a person and an event.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's a female black widow. You may wish to do some research before offering to adopt...

I can't see the picture on my mobile for some reason. I don't want a black widow. I want brachypelma smithii :-)

Rather you than me, but at least they don't come with a serious risk of posionous bite...

You're right. It's a conceptual, not grammatical, infelicity.

KILL IT WITH FYRE!

 

[Psinter]

I cannot possibly relate to such feelings.

But what is on my window is not a black widow. Albeit, I don't think it's a Tarantula either. I once tried to kill one of them monsters and it let some spiderweb out while escaping from me and Tarantulas from my place have no spiderweb. And they also move slower, the one on my window is blazing fast which makes it more scary. *shivers* They are so fast that you blink and the next thing you find is that it magically disappeared from the scene. The sun is finally out and I've been camping all night. Plus just took some pills for the allergy I have. The pills makes you sleepy so bye bye.

KILL IT WITH FYRE!

My thought exactly.

Don't, it'll be too hot. Spiders will also die when their legs are broken. Huhahhaa

Are there arachnophobiae around?
Spiders are our friends: they eat our flying enemies, kill themselves when too many, hiding the whole day and don't bother about us at all.
And beside in Australia their poison is negligibly.

I didn't eve know (some) spiders were poisonous.

AFAIK all are. However, most of them come in homeopathic doses or cannot overcome our skin.

Because it is not the universe, but the multiverse.
All of bio-medical students are well taught about some laws that forbid them to perform experiments on humans.

Exactly. I never understood why people are so afraid of them. Maybe because of their unusual appearance. They really look like aliens :) That's why I'm so afraid of snakes, they scare me because they move without feet :)
Right now I'm reading a book about tarantulas and they are very interesting creatures, with almost supernatural ability for survival, but very fragile at the same time.
I don't understand why anyone would kill them or any other animal for no reason. I have a huge phobia of snakes but I would never kill one unless it was in self-defense.
Now that I can see the pictures in this case it was self-defense. So I'm not criticizing Psinter now :) I'm talking about some strange comupulsion to kill all harmless insects for no reason that some people have.
Anyway, most species do MUCH less harm than people

Ah ha! The Sally Field count.

Enlighten me.

Yes, but why Sally Field count? Om likes Sally Field?

 

[zoobyshoe]

Yes, but why Sally Field count? Om likes Sally Field?

Ah - I get it now. Thanks.

Ah - I get it now. Thanks.

Yeah, I needed a clue. At first I was thinking she played some role that had to do with counting, but that got me nowhere.

Spiders are nothing but ultimate evil! Sorry, but we can't be friends. I'm just kidding with you.

I like snakes and Amphibians. Amphibians are funny. Most are wet and gelatinous. I like to touch them.
