Psst...Hey, Martok!

Global warming = more spider food = more spiders.

The GW activists should use that for promotional punch.

[Martok]

I think you just made the most compelling case for reducing carbon emissions that I could ever support.   

[JasonPratt]

Carbon makes more carbon dioxide.

More carbon dioxide makes more plants.

More plants makes more bugs.

More bugs makes more spiders.

More spiders...

[JasonPratt]

Also, global warming makes plants grow very large, and so you need to, like, train yourself now for that eventuality.

Not that that's the plot of this game. It's really a homage to Honey I Shrunk The Kids.

Edited to add: don't worry, the thumbnail for the video doesn't appear in the game.

No, but the spider that shows up at the end is still big enough.

Yeah, I read that.  Just what this world needs -- even more spiders. 

Jokes on you Martok...here's yet another friend for you.

At least they're little guys...plus they're almost pretty.  Most importantly of all, however, they live far, far away from me.

Not mostly about its title topic, in case you're wondering.

Ebay managers sent live spiders (among other things) to ebay critics.

Does Martok have an online blog criticising Ebay?

For a change of topic... an island with an average of 1 to 5 fatally poisonous snakes every square meter!



Sadly, they don't eat spiders, but eat birds instead. Because no mammals survive on the island, so they have to go into the trees. Whence they sometimes fall upon visitors. Thus explaining the population density per surface square foot.

The birds probably eat some spiders. For whatever that's worth.
