Awesome, when they do, let us know!

You. GJ fan. Where have you been hiding? I'm making a website for the ship! I'm also writing a GIANT ass fic.

Can I friend you? Plz?

im_an_aaangel March 21 2009, 02:33:08 UTC

Go right ahead. :) I've always loved that pairing. :D

If he was paralyzed 21 years ago how does he have 14-year-old twins?

mushroom_maiden March 15 2009, 03:59:14 UTC

Paralysed people can have sex.

I dont see any reason for his genitalia to not be fully functioning after a car accident.

Ok.. So it doesn't say if the spider bite caused his legs to work again, or if it was merely coincidence? And if it was the spider bite, does that mean anything for other paraplegics?

This is where the research comes in!

pthalogreen March 16 2009, 17:12:00 UTC

yeah, correlation is not causation.

grygon March 15 2009, 05:32:08 UTC

oh man... i gotta tell someone about this next time we visit.

i have a friend in a wheelchair. similar story (car accident). she was telling me recently about a black widow in her shower and how she beat it to death by picking up her leg and flinging her foot at it again and again.

mushroom_maiden March 15 2009, 05:37:26 UTC

0.o that is NOT A GOOD IDEA!! WTF?! She can still get BITTEN, even if she couldn't feel it!!

gleef March 15 2009, 06:05:39 UTC

Perhaps that was her goal. If a recluse can do it, why not a widow?

mushroom_maiden March 15 2009, 07:48:33 UTC

lol yeah I don't think so somehow :P

I honestly can't wait to see the results of the studies that will come of this. They should be fascinating.
