It sounds like the title of a new film from the makers of Sharktopus, but it’s better than that, it’s real. So file it under educational, as this spider deftly wraps its prey in a spindle of web, suffocating the life out of it. And terrifying the life out of you.
It makes you glad you’re not an insect having to fend off hideous spiders just to get by in your day-to-day existence. So just be grateful you life is so dull.
Nature is a very curious thing, forget the birds & the bees, this summer it’s all about the ‘birds & the Tweets. Ornithologists say birds are most active early mornings and late afternoons… But can our species out-Tweet them? It’s the humans against the birds in our Bulmers orchard – who will win?
Join the experiment between the hours of 1pm and 2pm Tweet with the hashtag #Bulmers, or alternatively, go to www.facebook.com/bulmersuk and take part in a series of fun experiments they are running this summer.
On Thursday July 21, 2011 space shuttle Atlantis landed in Cape Canaveral, Florida, ending NASA’s 30-year space shuttle program. And now, landing on Mars, colonising the moon, achieving cosmic enlightenment — all that is gone because of you.

Well according to our man here Mick Hocking when it combines with augmented reality games are going to hit some next level shiz.
I? love Ben Drew, he looks like he’s an East? End heavy who you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley, and then he sings with the voice of an angel. It’s a paradox in motion.
Also the music sounds like it is being performed in your left ear, then the right, then in front & behind you, it’s all over the place with this new Beats Audio technology. Amazing. What next, let me guess, a cat playing a piano….*Wait!?
If you’re one of the many addicts who suffers from the ‘Blackberry Thumb’, or a cat on the next stage of it’s supreme evolution (and just waiting to develop opposable thumbs) then this gadget’s at the top of your ‘Must-Have’ list.
It has more tricks up it’s sleeve than a crooked politician and aside from doing all the stuff (and more, thank you Flash) that an iPad can perform, it comes with a demonstrator who will break his own fingers just to show you how much he believes in it. Ouch.
People say that bungee jumping can be dangerous, or sky-diving without a parachute. Well, it’s nothing compared to the thrills and spills of this hardcore activity.
What is this daring sport, you enquire? Why, it’s the death-defying event that is the Pen Spinning World Tournament 2011. Be careful! That biro could spin out of control and have someone’s eye out.
