09.25.09 Spiderlurgist

Last night, while making the wife a mojito, I unknowingly muddled a spider in with the mint.

"Dude, there's spider in here," she tells me. We both stare at the tiny, broken up pieces of spider for a second and then try and get it out, her with her fingers and me with a spoon. While we're scooping I suggest "Maybe this is how you get your superpowers." She laughs and we continue scooping.

When we're done we head to the living room, and as an afterthought she tells me, "Oh, and earlier today I microwaved a fruit fly with my coffee."

"Dude!" I yell, "You're totally getting superpowers!"

It totally worked!

Wait, lethargy, irritability and general laziness aren’t superpowers?

Never mind.

Finally a popular culture joke that I get!!

I microwaved a silverfish with leftover chicken once.

No superpowers.

Though I sometimes get the urge to crawl around on the bathroom floor.


+Alex says...

What are fruit fly superpowers? Short gestation period? Strong attraction to males with genetic mutations? Ability to withstand the harsh conditions of a rotting banana?
