MAybe it's gonna be a giant conscious membrane under the water that constitutes the entire moon....It's a frikkin' space amoeba er giant fungus under there

I'd suggest you do some research on "properly cleared" gun shootings. The whole reason people get shot with a "properly cleared" firearm is because humans make mistakes. Also, the use of quotations is to illustrate a point, which I apparently need to spell out. People get shot when they THINK the gun is cleared. I've sat there and asked 30 people in a room, most familiar with cleaning and the whole 9 yards, and not a single one of them saw the bullet in the barrel. Every single person said the gun was clear, and was completely safe. Now, repeat that several times a week and the numbers really add up.

There have also been cases off firearms discharging on their own. I believe Colt was being sued due to the number of rifles that were discharging without a trigger pull. People died.

Now, if you truly believe a firearm was invented for sport, you have seriously deluded yourself. A firearm is NOT intended for sport. A sporting rifle, yes. They're usually a 22cal, well, sporting rifle/pistol. They look a little funnier, they don't have high capacity magazines, and they fire a small bullet.

However, if you truly truly deep down in your gun loving heart believe an AR-15 was invented for sport . . . well, there's nothing anyone can ever say to make you see reason. If you truly believe hallow point bullets were made for sport, then we live in a very strange world. If you truly believe a recoiless machine gun that fires 30 rounds per minute was made for sport, then the military needs to step up it's game. They really should be using weapons designed to kill their enemy, not shoot little paper targets at a gun range.

I hear napalm was really invented to cure toe fungus, not kill large swaths of enemy soldiers. Swords were made to butter bread. Tanks were made for picking up groceries.

BTW, historical fun fact, black powder is one of the few items originally designed for recreation that was later used for war (Chinese fireworks.) Things like forks, scissors etc were originally designed to kill people, until later other uses were discovered. Like rockets. Our government didn't care that people wanted to go to space, they wanted a rocket that COULD make it to space, but half way there would make a sudden turn and go kaboom. So I guess rockets are 50/50. Guns, well, you're just in fantasy land there.

Though some might argue that not all e.coli turn into humans.....the apriori.politici species are among one that remain fungus.

How about "Golem Spider" because it makes a Golem. Golems are endemic to D&D folklore and secular literature as well as Jewish folklore. Golems are made of mud and debris and they are animated by a magician. It seems a fitting metaphor.

Perhaps there's a similar creature in indigenous amazon folklore to the Golem and if so, I submit that as an alternate name too.

I'd like to know how many webs had 8 legged constructs and if that's the sole instance, I'd go with your fungus theory. I figure you scientifically ruled out it was the exoskeleton of a dead spider.

Why do you call it a 'he'? Did you sex it? Do only females of this species create webs?

GOLEM SPIDER GOLEM SPIDER GOLEM SPIDER GOLEM SPIDER GOLEM SPIDER GOLEM SPIDER GOLEM SPIDER GOLEM SPIDER GOLEM SPIDER GOLEM SPIDER GOLEM SPIDER.

Here's a naming suggestion: Google/Image Search each of the proposed spider names come up and see what kinds of associations (other than to what presently seems to be called 'the decoy spider') already exist.

What's sad? Wouldn't the idea that this product of the United States public education system is so clueless as to think that A: She believed herself to be correct in her actions at issue and B: She believes from the information available to her (most likely gathered from the ultimate source of accurate and wholly objective information, the television) that she is able to accurately make any decisions whatsoever regarding her government?

She's as developmentally disabled as our resident fungus (growing ever-healthier on his only food-source, television and am radio) as are those who believe that brand O, is any more noble or qualified than brand R, to do anything but continue to turn civilians nay, the entire human race into an automotomacious lump of ineffectual wage-slaves.

Coment from the original YouTube poster:
"Actually that tree probably took closer to a thousand years to grow! It has probably been dying for a hundred years. Did you know that it takes around 80 years for a fungus to grow on the outside of white wood softwoods (balsam, hemlock, etc...) once the tree has been infected? Maybe you should google bark beetle kill photos and see what we are trying to prevent. Whole mountain ranges of forests dead within a few years far as the eye can see"

My daughter takes a pill derived from a Streptomyces Tsukubaensis fungus 3 times a week. It keeps her transplanted liver happy.

edit:
from wiki:
Like ciclosporin, it was found in a soil fungus, although it is produced by a type of bacterium,

I had to look those up.

Fungus Nuggets sounds gross, but I'd try them.

Shit... the fungus has already infected too much of his brain. I don't think we can save him. Not what he was, anyway. We can cannibalize his brain though. It won't hurt him much. Just a little pinch....

I'm really happy to have Sapience Film as a sponsor. This looks like a great project and I've already pledged $25 on Kickstarter to make this happen. Join me!

"The animals instinctively clean their fur by taking dust baths, in which they roll around in special chinchilla dust made of fine pumice. In the wild their dust is formed from fine ground volcanic rocks. The dust gets into their fur and absorbs oil and dirt. These baths are needed a few times a week. Chinchillas do not bathe in water because the dense fur prevents air-drying, retaining moisture close to the skin, which can cause fungus growth or fur rot. A wet chinchilla must be dried immediately with towels and a no-heat hair dryer."

-I was curious.

I collect spores molds and fungus

Reminds me of the fungus they found at Chernobyl that refines and processes radioactive material for growth and energy production.
