All I can say is that if anyone was looking for some stuff, all they'd 
have to do would be to /follow the spiders/. Yep, that'd lead 'em right.

ah, I'm a bit older for that.  I'm from the time of "follow the money" if
someone gets the reference... ;)

but yeah, it does make sense to follow the spiders and look up in places full of
cobwebs... :)

  Trivia question: Which order of arachnida looks like it has 10 legs
instead of the traditional 8?

  (10 points if you know the answer without consulting the internet.)

I'm guessing scorpions. Are they arachnida?

I'd guess scorpions (and additionally some varieties of whip scorpions 
and wind scorpions).  In most cases the fifth pair of legs are pretty 
obviously arms though, so I'm not sure if it's what you're thinking of.

"Follow the money" is much older than "show me the money."

  It's not what I was thinking of. This order consists (mostly) of species
that look a lot like regular spiders, and a lot like they have 10 legs
(the fifth pair of "legs" looking a lot like the others and even performing
similar functions).

  Apparently this didn't get much interest. The answer:

I noticed your absence. That is not the same as missing you ;)
I simply assumed you were on holiday again.
Or broke your hip while dancing too much.
Or were shot in the fracas at paintball.*
But I knew you would come back, you always do.

*) no, I don't know where they are.

Well, sort of. I spent a week skiing in Switzerland. Never mind, carry on...

Also, yesterday was my birthday. But I don't seriously expect anybody to 
realise that.

Well, belated happy birthday. I spent most of it looking down the side

Yeah... wow. Surprised I didn't notice your absence. I'm usually the 
first to notice. I've been buried under so much lately.
