    Mme Butterfly she lulls me to sleep....in a town without pity, where the water runs deep.
    I really liked the LSD one - the way it focused on the essentials and left out stuff that wasn't important. But I'm afraid mine is clearly the caffeine one.
    Was this research done by the part of NASA that's supposed to save the planet, or is that another department?

    ArachnaphilliaFor me, the questions are all practical in nature.... how do you get a spider to ingest these drugs?  (I picture big, hairy spiders with a joint in one "hand" a chicken wing in another... a beer in yet another).  Do spiders have noses up which they can snort?  Let's not even think about mainlining.  And how do these researchers determine dose?  It's all quite fascinating.
    Do you think a spider on LSD sees the world like humans do?
