I just realized that the glossy brown, giant spider I picked up and threw outside about 10 years ago... was most likely a Brown Recluse Spider. The most dangerous spider in Texas.

I don't tend to kill spiders. And because it was so big, I did not think it was a brown recluse. They tend to be fairly small.
 
Completely random morning thought. I was thinking about The Aristocrats joke, which had a great documentary about 20 years ago.

And I realized: Jim Henson probably had his own version of The Aristocrats joke. He hung around in those circles. He knew all kinds of stand-up comics. There's a good chance he'd be privy to that joke. Which means there's a chance he probably had his own version of it he'd tell.

I don't know why that thought feels so wrong to me.
