The world's a serious and dangerous place these days. Every once in a while I'm going to give you one of these guys. At Rice University, scientists have figured out how to reanimate dead spiders and those spiders are now working mechanically to carry items around. Isn't this the way every apocalypse movie, zombie apocalypse movie starts? Right. What was the the line by Jeff Goldblum in, in Jurassic Park about life finding a way? If you can reanimate dead spiders and have them wandering around your lab, at what point is this a Planet of the Apes like scenario, where those dead spiders get out? When they bite humans, does that zombify us? Are we looking at like, you know, I Am Legend in the future? I don't know. But I'm gonna share my view. Reanimating dead spiders to be your little helpers and workers is a bad idea. Don't do it. Find other ways to use your scientific gifts. Thanks.
