And now for something cheerful

My biology book cost more than all my other books combined. *sigh* Still, my total expenditure on textbooks this week is about a hundred dollars cheaper than it was last time I took a biology class.

Also, said biology book comes with the following bonus: "Suggested pre-lab specimen enclosed. Observe animate and inanimate. Draw diagram. Live spider should be located inside packaging at top of book. If dead, animate observations may be omitted, but do not dispose of specimen immediately, as specimen may endure long periods of time without moving."

Your biology book included a live spider? !!

Sorry for the inane comment. I just am a bit gobsmacked.

It most certainly did. At least, I think it's still alive. *pokes* Yup. I feel special.

holy guacamole! (<-- spell?)

jeez but that's a super-nifty thing for a text book to come with.
I am amazed and delighted ^_^

Isn't it? Of course, I'm pretty sure it was unintentional. But still.

I'm pretty sure it was unintentional.

*confused* that what was unintentional? inclusion of spider? (didn't they write those instructions?) fact that spider was alive?

*bedtime for the kate*

inclusion of spider?

I suspect so. And the instructions were definitely figments of my imagination.

It is a cute spider, though. Also, nice icon. :D

ooooooh.

makes it funnier but less surprising ^_^

Well, can't have everything, I suppose. *l*

Seriously? Or are you pulling our eight legs...

No, only seven of them. There really was a spider, although it appears to have wandered off now.
