Considering most spiders routinely practice cannibalism, I feel little remorse whenever it comes to killing one.

That said, I do admit my fear of spiders is largely unjustified and irrational. I also don't kill spiders willy nilly, I was cutting up an old computer chair yesterday that had been sitting outside for a month and was full of spiders but I didn't kill one.

I'm planning on dissecting the little bastard for analysis under the microscope anyway.

Like I said before: I always leave the daddy long legs alone; apparently they're great for knocking off any spidery competition.

Witch to believe, Wikipedia or a insect website that was found through Google...

Either way around getting bit and stung sucks.

Picked up a little something today...

<div align="center">Image
Click for larger image...</div>

Ruger Mk. III 22/45. This one was a little trickier to track down than their standard model, but the threaded barrel is a nice reward for resilience. :wink:

Before any modifications, I have 400 rounds of CCI mini-mags to break it in with... going to be one of my better Mondays for quite some time. :D

Excellent taste Mark, good buy. Just mind the loaded chamber indicator, some people have problems with them.

Made sure to watch for its pin when I took it apart. Apparently, it falls out.

Definitely a little stiff taking it apart the first time. Had to use a rubber mallet to get the receiver/barrel off the lug, and needed it and a dowel to get the bolt stop pin in and out. Hopefully it'll loosen up a little in the future.

Definitely getting some 7/8" ID DOM tubing for a... compensator. :wink:

You know, having a threaded barrel isn't really essential for compensating .22lr, a tight friction fit or a collet-esque system will function just fine.

Here's a "spudgun attachment" for .22, .25 and .32, there's many more interesting accessories.

In order to balance out your less than manly purchase, here's a more virile phone :D

Nice, but they're not being sold anymore, apparently.
