Tell me something funny that happened to you in the last week.
I had fun teasing my brother last night via IM...he lives in OK and I said I was scared of the brown recluse spiders in his barn. He said there are brown recluses in Phila. as well and I went on dogpile.com and searched for "brown recluse" and "range" and bombarded him with hotlinks that proved they don't live where I do. It is so fun to get the best of my know-it-all scientist brother (whom I love DEARLY of course).
