A little harvestman sits at the center of a fiddlehead's spiral, like a minotaur at the center of a maze.

Thanks! I always enjoy your comments.

As far as I know, opiliones can see. They do seem to watch when I'm trying to take pictures of them.

I've also noticed that they sometimes seem to position their legs so that their eyes are hidden. (maybe for camouflage purposes? or maybe they're shy?)

Stanley Weinbaum's "A Martian Odyssey".

There are lots of books about schools for magical kids: Hogwarts, Camp Half-Blood, Unseen University, Strange Academy, and on and on.

But what about a retirement home for magical grownups? Imagine reaching a ripe old age, children and grandchildren grown and gone, and one day you find a gold-embossed letter in your mailbox:

"Greetings!
You have been selected for residence at the Moonfrost Home for Exceptional Elders."

Somebody write a novel about a magical retirement home. I want to read it.

If the folks working on high-temperature superconductivity got together with the folks who worked on cold fusion we could have lukewarm superconfusion.

By clicking a star, I cause a little squirt of neurotransmitters inside the brain of someone potentially halfway around the world. What could be more significant than that?
