Centipedes always have an odd number of leg pairs.

The temperature must be 64 degrees before a grasshopper can jump.

Only 1:100,000 calico cats are male (the rest are female.)

The are an average of 50,000 spiders per acre.

Is your wife's arachnophobia rubbing off on you?

I knew that most Calico cats are female, just didn't quite know the numbers. I think, similarly, most orange tabbies are male.

I'm down with the spiders, I love 'em.

My adorbaliciousness is measured in the yottawatt range.

To tie-in with the spider thing:
I can't remember the exact number but I remember hearing something like, 'you are never more than 3 feet from a spider'...

I remember thinking 'damn. even on a plane? wtf?'

Spiders on a plane?

Sounds like a winning sequel.

Thank you, Screeling.
I was thinking it, too.
