In 1995, Nasa Tested The Effects Of Various Drugs On Spiders.
These Are The Webs Woven When The Spiders Were Exposed To Different Substances 
I remember hearing about that being done, but I did not know it was NASA. 😊
…..now I’m wondering “Why?”. 😂
Were they just bored? 🤔
Or seriously up to something with Spiders going into Space. 😳
Never heard this before, and googled it.
Yap, it's true ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19950065352 |

I see that they exposed them to ‘various chemicals’. But maybe non of those were really lsd, MJ or caffeine. 😊
Might have been a ‘canary in the coal mine’ type thing? 😊
or
if they did use lsd ..etc…I wonder how different the web results were in space compared to what they did on earth under those influences? 😊
Lol, oh damnit Frank 😂
You got my strange imagination started again.  |

TIL, that a Russian Lunar Rover,
that has been on the moon since 1973,
was sold to a guy from New York for $68.000

Today I learned that the band “Steppenwolf” , famous for the song “Born to be Wild”, took the name from the 1927 novel “Steppenwolf (Der Steppenwolf)”
by Hermann Hesse.
And according to just one listing on Google….
Steppenwolf is German for "wolf of the steppe", and a steppe is basically like a prarie. The steppe wolf are known for their aggression and excessive killing of seals, they just do it for the hell of it.”
👆I’ve got my doubts about that last part! 🤨
Wolves do not kill just for the hell of it, or out of bloodlust, not even the Dire Wolf did that.
And what exactly would ‘SEALS’ be doing on a prairie, or anyplace like a prairie?
Or….now I notice ‘prairie is spelled ‘prarie’ in that excerpt.
Is that merely a misspelling? Or a European thing I haven’t heard of before.
(Probably Google f’ing up. 🤭)
What do you think Commander osnafrank ? 😊
I also found a more detailed definition and info on the German word, and what ‘the steppe’ are. But I accidentally closed that tab, and lost it. I will find it again.
Also found the audiobook! ….
Sounds like a very interesting story, I’ll need to listen to this one.

Yes, "Steppe" is like the American Prarie.
But the Steppe Wolf is also known as the Caspian Sea Wolf,
and the caspian sea is the home of the caspian seal.
This seal, is found no where else in the world.

TIL that a group of ravens is called ‘an unkindness’ of ravens.
Though many use other terms, such as ‘a parliament of ravens’.
Apparently there is some debate, and other accepted terminology, besides those two examples.

TIL that directors use the pseudonym "Alan Smithee" to disown a project.
Thy use it when they don't want their name officially attached to a project they feel will hurt their career.

Today I learned to expect the unexpected even more diligently when it comes to any kind of iPhone updates. 🤨😒😖
 
Damn thing demanded an agreement to new terms on iCloud crap, so did that yesterday and all was fine and the same.
UNTIL just now when I went to go check something in my ‘NOTES’!
And they
WERE ALL GONE!
AND everything was GONE in my text and art editing app thing,
that I made the Halloween Story cover, KINGO card, and other things with! 😱
I mean totally disappeared! 
That was a shock!
I have tons of notes on various topics, including a few ‘in progress’ short stories, and other current projects I have going on!
I closed them, and went to check on other stuff stored in other places, in my phone, and they were fine.
So….after accepting that sh*t like that sucks,
and Tja! Kannst nix machen!…gottverdammt…🤨
I went back to my Notes
and started to start everything all over again,
and everything was restored!
Yes! Restored!
Folders containing everything had been made automatically, SOMEHOW, and now look, and are opened, very differently from the way it was before.
‘Bout pissed me off again, when I saw that, but was glad I found them, thank God for that.
I’m not even going to talk about the very brief conversation I had with SIRI, about this whole mess. 🤨 😒….useless….
Now I’m tired again 😂
