Australian Spiders to be Sent into Space

Yes, famed indie group, Australian Spiders, are going into space, where their inventive mix of funky basslines, electric zither, and melodious cat scratching will be a real lift to those people stuck up there.

No actually it's real spiders--30 Golden Orb spiders are in the program, but only the eight friskiest will make it into space. The Orb Spiders build particularly symetrical webs so that will enable researchers to discover whether or not spider webs would make a particularly good beverage holder. It has so far proven difficult to find the ideal beverage holders for those long nights when the orbitor orbits the earth about a thousand times.

In truth I think they already have something involving velcro--but it's still kind of a funny bit. More politics soon.
