    meanwhile, back in the USA...
    Now ain't that America, to you and me
    Ain't that America, somethin' to see, baby
    Ain't that America, home of the free
    Little pink houses for you and me
    For you and me

    (actually the house is that same cream-ish color of the sugarhouse -- and that charming moose and cross motif was there when they bought the place :p)

    Actually, we're wondering what to do about these chickens, They have wandered into our back yard over the past few days, They appear to be well fed and are beautiful birds, Must have escaped from somewhere. Trying to figure out who to call.

    The last time I was in Maui (March 2018), there were chickens all in the airport area.

    They look like they may be a little more gourmet than that.

    For sure! He's a lover! Realized today that he is 7 years old! Getting on a bit in years, but still a bunch of energy! All 5.5 lbs of him! :)

    [emphasis added]

    so... 5.5 lbs = 2.5 kg (i.e., 2500g).

    By Einstein's equation:

    E = m * c^2 = (2.5 kg) (3 x 10^9 m/sec)^2 = 2.25 x 10^19 kg-m^2/sec^2 = 2.25 x 10^19 Joules

    2.25 x 10^19 J = 4588 megatons of TNT (4.588 gigatons)

    B)


    (of course, you would have to convert all of him into energy, which is somewhat impractical... but... yeah, a lot of energy!)

    (most likely) it's a Bolo spider, part of the orb Weaver group.

    That is an American 25 cent piece, commonly known as a "quarter" (short for "quarter dollar") and to a lesser extent "two bits" (formerly equal to the cost of a shave and a haircut). I would have to guess that it was minted in 1979, judging from its markings.

    This object is relatively common in most parts of the country. In some locales, it has more value as a component to various common drinking games than its monetary value.

    *Not to be confused with the Canadian version which was known to wreak havoc in vending machines throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

    WTF, it would be "Shots fired, Shots fired" after I knocked it of my arm ofcourse!

    Knowing what part of the country you are in would help. I dont thinks it is a Orb family though.

    I heard somewhere if it weren't for spiders, we couldn't breath the air outside.

    I tried to find that white spider and got weird feelings while looking at hundreds of pictures of spiders. I had to abort! :s:)

    I HATE MOST SPIDERS, but the little hairy jumping spiders don't bother me one bit for some odd reason. Maybe since I can't see their little short legs moving, I don't care about them.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
