The ultimate lesson of Google-Fu is learning when not to use it.

Try using a different search engine, one that isn't quite as popularity-weighted as Google's admittedly very interesting algorithms are.

Try: poisonous spiders to consume

[kilakan]

It's mostly because google is broken through the popular misconception that spiders are poisonous when they are in fact venomous.  Googled are any spiders toxic, got:
http://www.burkemuseum.org/blog/myth-spiders%E2%80%93some-poisonous-some-not
Which seems to indicate there are no poisonous spiders that we are currently aware of.  Basically go nuts with your new found um... thing.

[Egan_BW]

Maybe that's a question that we don't have a very good answer for because we haven't tried eating every species of spider yet. In which case, do please help provide data!

Deepfry them in tempura batter. Just a gentle blast to colour the batter.
Fucking delicious tiny crispy nuggets of spider life.

I mean, you should probably make sure you don't have any sores/abrasion/lacerations in your mouth of any kind. Just in case.

Or eat exclusively the legs and abdomen. The venom glands are in the cephalothorax next to the brain, at the least. So that shouldnt be a problem.

@kilikan yeah that article seems like the best thus far.
And yeah we should totally just eat every spider we see and find out who dies from it

I once had a glass of milk fresh out of the microwave explode in my face. Not the glass, just the milk. As I added sugar.

I once watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor... and surviving.

That was beautiful and slightly unsettling.

I'd buy the whole damn book.


Also, freezing beer rarely ends well. Especially not in glass - heck, freezing most liquids in glass is a risky business, not just beer. One time I forgot about a few of them I chucked in the freezer for rapid cooling... fortunately they were tinnies rather than glass stubbies, but still. It was messy, believe you me.

... you've never seen Apocalypse Now?

These days, Apocalypse Now is so Apocalypse Then.

[Eric Blank]

The apocalypse is ongoing.

[Sirus]

The apocalypse happened in 1992.

[Rolan7]

And in 1995, civilization began to reform (Fallout 1).

So, according to the error being displayed, if I understand correctly, the D4Dwarf image the wiki uses doesn't exist anymore

So, Lifeweb has vices... Every character has to pick one vice, or choose to have a random vice. Going random gives you a 50-75% chance to not have a vice at all, but having an unplanned-for vice can occasionally be a major hassle, especially seeing as not all vices are created equal... not at all.

Every round also has a random modifier, chosen automatically upon round start. This can be things like the Baron getting special powers, the Merchant getting extra opportunites or any number of other odd little mutators. This time, we got something I'd never seen before: "Every person has the same vice".

Now, I should mention that not everything on the "vice" list is, in fact, a vice... They're all meant to be handicaps in some ways, but not all of them can be clearly defined as being some sort of guilty pleasure. This includes the "vice" of missing a particular bodypart.

This is the vice the game picked for everyone to have. It then picked the bodypart we would all lack.

It picked tongues.


And thus began the rousing and intriguing tale of Mime Fortress, the quietest stronghold on the planet... Especially interesting to those of us who spawned as peasant classes that are illiterate.
