Scientists at NASA tested the effects of certain human drugs on a spider’s ability to spin webs. A spider on marijuana tried to make a web, but gave up when it was only half-done. Spiders on Benzedrine, or speed, spun webs quickly, but left huge holes in them, making odd patterns. Spiders on caffeine only spun some random threads, while those on sleeping pills never bothered to start making a web.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.

That is kind of interesting, though, once I get past !spiders!
WHERE DID THEY GET BONGS THAT SMALL?
I just LOVE that new home page picture. Keep it for a while, wontcha?
Did any of them try to pick their Mom up from Work, while nodding off at the wheel?
Has anyone thought of giving a drug test to those NASA scientists? How do we know the spider got a full dose? LOL
Too funny, Dan and Sam!
Thanks, Charlie, I will keep it. This is near where I live, and I've stood on that bluff.
I know what you mean, FP.
Who are you, Anonymous? Good point!
