We have an Urgent News Bulletin from Weekly World Central:
THERE WAS A TARANTULA IN A CUBICLE IN OUR CLASSIFIEDS DEPARTMENT THIS MORNING.
There is no word on whether Classifieds Manager Sean Ardry tried to sell the tarantula an ad or not.
That’s all. Happy Tuesday!

I’m told things like this are par for the course at the Desert Museum, which routinely has critters of various types and toxicities running through offices.
I still remember the foot-long scorpion named Orland who came to visit the production pit as the last pages of TW were sent to Mesa. Don’t worry, folks. I was just as concerned as all of you about Orland’s safety. He was released to the desert.
News flash: Most of central and southern Arizona is a desert.
At least you weren’t like Mrs. USA who was so scared by a tarantula she backed into a bush where she got bit by a rattlesnake.
