Did you know…


That you can use your home computer as a spider incubator?

I keep several containers of Parasteatoda on top of my Mac Mini, where they thrive in the warmth and provide endless hours of entertainment while I’m working. All four of these contain egg sacs, and three of the four have hatched out this morning!

    Uh, aren’t you supposed to conceal the label on the equipment of your Bond-villain organization?

    (One point for doing so for Apple…)

    My old laptop runs cool with Linux even under heavy load (40c). ‘I always wondered what macs were good for’, quipped Snidely Whiplash.

    The fourth egg sac just popped! So many babies!

    The temp on top of the mac is just slightly warm. The underside, on the other hand, is at 47°C right now.
