How far away the stars seem, and how far is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart.
To win respect, the networks seem to feel they have to keep absurdly overstating their anchors' reporting cred.
We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like.
One of the sad things about retiring is that you just become increasingly irrelevant. The world flows around you, and you don't seem to be impacting it any longer.
Some spider silks are really strong, but not all of them are. The ones that are really strong can actually rival steel and approach the tensile strength of Kevlar. Thus far, the dragline silk seems to be the strongest.
