A spider newly discovered in the Moroccan Sahara can do powerful, acrobatic flips through the air.

Like a gymnast, it runs for a short time, then stretches out its front legs, spinning into the air and returning to touch the ground with its hind legs. Peter Jäger, a taxonomist at the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, who identified the spider, has nicknamed it the flic-flac for the maneuver its leap resembles.

Congrats Matty, how was the weather yesterday?

downpour most of the run until the last bit, then it was light rain. then I got home showered and the sun came out of 2 hours. lol

it was a fantastic run however. Ive done a half marathon on my own but never an organized one, I went start to finish non stop run no walking, that is what I was proudest of

A man died at a fortune cookie factory after he reportedly fell into a giant dough mixer. The employee was only 26 years of age. Police say the man was pronounced dead at the Houston cookie making factory over the weekend. The medical examiner’s office said he died of "multiple blunt trauma injuries" after tumbling over and being pulled into the dough-mixing machine.

My neighborhood is getting increasingly Canadian-friendly. They just built this 30-foot tall maple leaf statue. Then again, it might be an oak leaf. I can't tell for sure.

On Cosmos last night, I learned that we are descended from a small mammal which lived in what is today Newark, New Jersey.

Let that sink in for a moment. We're all from New Jersey.

So, most of us evolved to the point where we were smart enough to get out of there?

resistance is futile, just let it happen. We are all Canadian
