Life on other planets have been studied since. So is there life on planet Mercury? 😀

Very, very quietly and as though nothing is wrong, pretend you are leaving the house to purchase some milk or something, and call this number from a phone booth:729-262-5436Ask for Scully. Explain your situation. Remain calm.Billy: To me, the North West is all one giant tree covered rainy place that I’ve never been to. I assume there are starbucks everywhere. (Is this not true?) Plus, Mt Hood looked more like the Spider than Rainer.

It was sitting there out in the open on a small web.Now I’ve no problems with spiders (or at least with ones which aren’t dangerous to me) inside the house, but decided that wasn’t the best place for one to set up its home, and so brushed the web away. The spider, whom I presumably annoyed, ran inside my printer. The network switch then lit up, and it looked like the printer was exchanging messages with someone&hellip.I’ve got a feeling the next whatever I print might, just might, have a message: Either a Communiqué from the Giant Spider of Mercury, or else a gooey blob looking something rather like this image….
