My wife is a pretty tough cookie but when one of these suddenly crawls up on a curtain she reliably starts screaming for help. They're called 'Nosferatu #spiders' because if you look closely you can imagine the figure of Count Orlok from the classic Murnau film depicted on its front body segment. I usually transfer them to the garden..

@cstross I for one would like to read that long-postponed new space opera you've been hinting at

@cstross I accidentally recorded a BBC program called 'Alex Salmond - The Man Who Changed Scotland'. What do you think, should I watch it to learn something about the Scottish independence movement?
