Alveolus (pl. alveoli) "is a general anatomical term for a concave cavity or pit." (Wikipedia)

We have ticks like the one in the picture and I was told they are the ones that carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.

I currently have a flourishing colony of cellar spiders in my house. Luckily I can work from home, so I don't have to shower, which would disturb the big one in my bathtub.

My first encounter with 'Meg' was in 'Little Women'. Don't people read the classics any more, or watch movies?

As a teenager, I was visiting a Whaling Museum in Massachsetts, which displayed models of several species of whale, all clearly labeled. At some point a teenage lad joined me and started telling me what type of whale I was looking at. The problem was that I had to keep pointing out, "But the sign says it's a ---" . I guess he finally decided I wasn't any fun, and wandered away.

I thought they were sort of a mini-haggis.

Well, atheists™ who are adamant they know more about religion and their holy books than people who've studied it for decades aren't exactly a rare occurence
