Photo (8) Dude, I have been so busy lately, I barely have time to look up from my computer, let alone photograph hilariously absurd things and write about them on this blog.  Over the weekend I posted a picture of this spider on Twitter and Facebook, and the Internet quickly responded that it was probably a brown recluse and that we would probably be dead soon.   I like to live dangerously, though, so when Stephan said he wanted to set it free, I went along with it.  By the way, it totally did not have that white "fiddle" marking that the Internet was so insistent about.   Apparently it is bad luck to kill a spider, but I suppose it would be even worse to be bitten by one, so I'm glad it didn't bite him when he was liberating it from the bathroom.

Also, i have been meaning to post this absurd video for awhile– an actual commercial airing in the New York area.  I don't really think I can do this masterpiece justice with words, so behold:
