Thanks for the clarification. i love that people on here know about this stuff....

Spider respiration isn't like ours, it's based on diffusion rather than forcing the air through like we do.... or, in other words, no.
I felt quite sorry for the poor little fellow.
>> ^dapper:
Is it possible that the movement is a consequence of it breathing rather than the heart beat?




I know some insects (and spiders) pulse their abdomen to force air through their spiracles (little breathing holes on their underside), similarly to the way we use our diaphragm and intercostal muscles to draw air in and force it out again. Reading about it, it seems spiders tend to mix and match their breathing systems, depending on the species - but only "more advanced species" use spiracles"

Spiders hearts are located on the back of the abdomen. See this picture of a tarantula for example: http://i.imgur.com/7kexx.jpg (elongated yellow thing). So it could be it's heartbeat.

TL;DR - It could be breathing or a heartbeat. But due to spider anatomy, heartbeat would appear more likely.

According to an unreliable source I found while googling, prior to 1877 it was always called cottage pie no matter what leftover meat was used to make it.
If I make cottage pie though, I use beef mince and make sure it's got some carrot and peas

Shepard's Pie - traditionally British.
Also, something I don't get with other countries, Shepard's pie is LAMB. Not beef, that's a Cottage pie. Not damn TURKEY, that's some other kind of damn pie...
Shepard - sheep.
Think about it.

....I would accept "Turkey Shepard's Pie"



Hear hear! Carrots and peas are a must :>

Interesting fact regarding historical pie nomenclature, I'd no idea. Still, people should update their culinary cognomen to post 1877 to make me happier :B

Is this in England? It looks like the bike is on the wrong side of the road for the USA... maybe I'm turned around...


Don't think so - looks like a white back plate, so not from the UK.

Edit: look at it again, I'm not so sure...

I knew I'd seen this before, turns out I guess I had at over 2 and a half years ago since post. On the plus side, my search turned up this.

Man, what a brilliant idea.

I'm stranded somewhere, gotta wait for a hurricane to blow through...Pub?

I was gonna say "makes me wish we had more hurricanes in Britain" but who am I kidding, it's not like we Brits need any more excuses to have a few pints.

Surely for Stephen it should be iMode
