I got a mention in the latest issue of the college newspaper, the University Register. Only in the April Fools’ issue, unfortunately, and they misspelled my name, of course.
Not mentioned is that PZ Meyers only manages to skim the paper 5 days after it was published.
Or that the spiders only read at a first grade level, so far.
Nemo says
Interesting that they mention both you, and the North Star, but not the Incident.
Marcus Ranum says
I suppose spider-brains synthesize a continuous image with their 8 eyes, so reading wouldn’t be confusing.

I laughed so much… Thanks for sharing this!
StevoR says
Can eight eyed erudite speedy spiders speed read sparsely spaced new arachnid news & if so which specific species?
(Tongue-twister challenge.)
Reginald Selkirk says
I like to pick up my campus paper since they started including a crossword puzzle.
Leo Buzalsky says
I am going to go out on a limb and suggest they misspelled your name on purpose. :)

Total fake news! Two spiders read that paper and one is currently reading at the second grade level, which places it at a level higher than the administration staff.
Artor says
If your spiders only read at a first grade level, you need to start feeding them second-graders.
birgerjohansson says
The spelling has a simple explanation. PZ is liberal, so they think he must be Jewish.
And why is Death not accompanied by Death Of Rats?*
“SQUEAK!”
Ordinary Death: “ARE YOU GOING TO FEED MANY MORE FLIES TO THE SPIDERS? I HAVE A BUSY SHELDUE DURING EASTER.”
Frederic Bourgault-Christie says
I love the implication that the other spiders have better things to do with their time.
