dipperwell Before believing that statistic, ask yourself how they would have studied that. Did they go into people's houses and watch them sleep and count the spiders they ate? What if some houses are more spidery than others? What about geographical regions? How did they have the lifespan check?

I know this blathe is outdated but I'm just sayin.dd

neesh arachnids are terribly afraid of breath, too, and would run the moment they were breathed on. it's a survival mechanism to help them avoid being eaten. so a spider isn't going to wander into your mouth unless you're not breathing. there are two possibilities, however. one, that a spider falls or leaps a long way and lands in a sleeping person's open mouth. two, is an egg sac of baby spiders opens up, putting hundreds of spiders into the air, and these could be sucked in or randomly land in your mouth. and if someone were to swallow hundreds of spiders once in their life, it would up the averages somewhat.

thus have i read, at any rate.

it's funny, i was going to write something about it yesterday, and i decided i couldn't be bothered. i've done that many times lately. i feel a little bored of writing informative blathes, or opinion-based ones, or ones where i interact with other skites, and only want to put my poetry on. unfortunately, i haven't written any poetry lately.

i think it might be the same for other skites, like doar and sab, who have added a couple of poems recently.

and i also thik it funny that when some blather pages stopped working the other day, a few people thought it might be the end of blather. my reaction was "oh, i'll check back later."

dipperwell We've lost reverence for our religion. The thought of the church being closed on Sunday doesn't really bother us. We're a little relieved at not having to go anymore.

I only have one blathe right now where I post anything that matters to me. God knows when it will be extinguished too.

dipperwell Actually, I wonder if it might just be that we skites are feeling less needy than usual. I wonder if we're all growing up.

Growing out.
